North Carolina Braces for Severe Storms, Tornadoes

0:00On March 16th, here's the latest out of Durham. Much of North Carolina, especially the triangle region, faces severe weather risks today, March 16th, with damaging winds and possible tornadoes. Ahead, central areas show a 45-60% chance of widespread gusts up to 74 mph, plus brief but strong tornadoes. Wake Durham, Orange, Chatham, and Lee counties remain under a tornado watch until 2pm. Several triangle schools shut down to keep students safe from the storm threat. Officials urge everyone to identify shelter spots now and set up multiple alert methods on their phones or radios. The worst hits early afternoon, roughly 1-4pm, as thunderstorms sweep across the state. A meteorologist notes that peak intensity could last about half an hour with rain and lightning trailing behind. These fast-moving storms often form with little warning, so preparation is key. For perspective, a tornado in Brunswick County back in February 2021
