ALT A tornado touched down in the Stone Ridge neighborhood, just south of 540, and traveled northward into the Neuse Crossing neighborhood. A discontinuous path of tree and structural damage consistent with that of an EF-1 tornado was observed, with peak winds of approximately 100-110 mph. The tornado lifted near Mitchell Mill Rd. Special thanks to members of the Wake County Emergency Management team for their assistance with this survey.
ALT Graphic comparing the impacts of Helene and the current forecast for Isaias across the western Carolinas. Helene brought 15–30 inches of rain, sustained winds over 60 mph, gusts exceeding 70 mph, and catastrophic flooding. Isaias is forecast to bring 1–3 inches of rain, locally higher along the Blue Ridge Escarpment, with winds of 15–25 mph and gusts of 30–40 mph. Higher elevations could experience gusts of 40–50 mph. Unlike Helene, dry conditions are expected ahead of Isaias. Overall impacts are forecast to be significantly less severe than Helene.
