Rating: EF2 Estimated Peak Wind: 125 mph Path Length /statute/: 24.43 miles Path Width /maximum/: 150 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/11/2026 Start Time: 01:38 PM EDT Start Location: 2 W Wallace / Duplin County / NC Start Lat/Lon: 34.7395 / -78.0342 End Date: 10/11/2026 End Time: 02:27 PM EDT End Location: Potters Hill / Duplin County / NC End Lat/Lon: 34.9684 / -77.7115 Survey Summary: The damage path started just south of NC Highway 41, to the west of Cornwallis Road. Multiple softwood trees were snapped, a hard wood tree was uprooted, and some minor damage occured to one home. As the path crossed Highway 41, more tree damage was found consisting of multiple pine trees snapped and some metal roofing lifted up on a farm outbuilding. The maximum damage occurred just north of Highway 41, where a detached two car garage was lifted and moved off the foundation completely. The garage was anchored by toe nailing and rebar/bolts. The majority of the bolts were ripped out of the concrete. More snapped hardwood and softwood trees were found near the garage. On the north side of the nearby home, a large branch was embedded into the roof, opposite of the storm path. A nearby metal building was bent sideways, with 400 pound metal doors being blown and ripped off. These doors landed east, over the home. It was at the location of the detached garage that EF2 damage was found, with estimated top winds of 115 MPH. The wind estimate was a balance between the impressive damage to a well anchored structure (garage), but little to no damage to the nearby home. The path continued northeast across Highway 117. Damage here included bent or leaning power poles, and broken windows at a church along with tree damage. We were unable to determine if the windows were broken due to wind or flying debris. The path continued across Interstate 40, and continued northeast producing damage to multiple farms, and snapping trees. As the tornado continued northeast and crossed Highway 50, the intensity appeared to increase near or just north of Pasture Branch Road. In addition to more snapped trees and damage to multiple farms, an attached garage (via a breezeway) was moved off its foundation and dragged a truck that was parked behind it. The garage was not anchored by toe nailing or rebar/bolts. Top winds here were estimated closer to 100 MPH due to the lack of anchoring. Nearby multiple hardwood trees were snapped at the base. A convergent damage pattern of trees, narrow path, and leaf litter were blown opposite of the storm path. EF2 damage was found behind this house, where a pig farm was destroyed. A 1000 pound plus feed silo anchored into concrete with six bolts lifted out of concrete. Nearby barn had complete destruction. Anchoring was toe nailed and while the structure had rebar and bolts into the foundation. This did not extend into the entire structure, therefore the wind speed was reduced. It was at this location the strongest velocity rotation was found on radar with debris lofted up to approx 13,000 feet to 16,000 feet. As the path continued northeast toward Beaulaville, it was across a vast swampy and wooded area where damage could not be accessed. Closer to Beulaville, more snapped trees and uprooted trees were found along Corn Mill Road, where the tornado may have briefly lifted for a time with only minordamage found in Beaulaville. The last known damage was near Potters Hill where some minor damage occurred to a roof. It should be noted that the path of the tornado indicated it may have briefed lifted up at times, and may have been an inconstant path especially near Beulaville toward Potters Hill. The most consistent, concentrated damage was found from west of Wallace, northeast to just west of Chinquapin.

A damage survey was conducted on 10/15/2026 in and near the city of Fort Stockton. Evidence of two weak tornadoes were found along the path associated with this thunderstorm. .Fort Stockton Tornado 1... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.62 miles Path Width /maximum/: 30 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/14/2026 Start Time: 02:16 PM CDT Start Location: 1 S Fort Stockton / Pecos County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 30.8801 / -102.8822 End Date: 10/14/2026 End Time: 02:18 PM CDT End Location: 1 ESE Fort Stockton / Pecos County / TX End Lat/Lon: 30.8859 / -102.8741 Survey Summary: The damage associated with the first tornado included metal roofing peeled off and multiple large tree branches broken in the vicinity of the Pecos County courthouse and James Rooney Memorial Park. This damage was consistent with a high-end EF0 tornado rating. .Fort Stockton Tornado 2... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.40 miles Path Width /maximum/: 125 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/14/2026 Start Time: 02:23 PM CDT Start Location: 3 ENE Fort Stockton / Pecos County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 30.9125 / -102.8459 End Date: 10/14/2026 End Time: 02:34 PM CDT End Location: 6 NE Fort Stockton / Pecos County / TX End Lat/Lon: 30.9532 / -102.8136 Survey Summary: The damage associated with the second, and larger, tornado included metal wall paneling removed from a metal building system. The latter portion of the tornado's life span remained out in open fields, causing damage to mesquite trees. This damage was consistent with a low-end EF1 tornado rating. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$
