North Carolina Severe Weather Awareness Week is here!  Today’s topic: a reminder of the definition of a “severe” thunderstorm.  A severe thunderstorm produces any of the following three items (or any combination of the three):

- a tornado

- hailstones greater than or equal to the diameter of a penny

- a wind gust exceeding 58mph
