10/11/2026                   Duplin             NC   NWS Storm Survey 

            Storm survey found evidence of an EF-2 
            tornado with estimated peak winds of 115 to 
            125 mph. The tornado was estimated to be 150 
            yards wide and 24.43 miles long. The tornado 
            path was found from Wallace to Potters Hill. 
            It should be noted that the tornado may have 
            briefly 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. At the peak, radar indicated 
            debris lofted as high as at least 12,000 ft, 
            but potentially as high as 16,000 ft.
