Hurricane Dorian Causing (Lots of) Tornado Warnings


Oh my gosh ... stay safe out there!

Today (September 5th, 2019) is already presenting some unfortunate weather-related circumstances to several states along the Atlantic coast in the UNITED STATES, especially North Carolina and South Carolina but also including parts of coastal Georgia and Florida. At about 1:00 AM Eastern Time, the National Weather Service issued a TORNADO WATCH for coastal counties in North and South Carolina, and this alert is expected to last until 7:00 PM today or even later than that. In addition, some areas in the aforementioned states (particularly the Carolinas) will experience storm surges of up to 5 to 10 feet — and of course Hurricane Dorian will splash lots of rain on land and will subsequently cause severe flooding issues. For the latest hurricane-related Tornado Warnings in real-time, please stay up to date with the National Weather Service, particularly its NWS Tornado Twitter page at twitter.com/NWSTornado (↗). If you are currently in the impacted areas, please stay safe, turn around don't drown if you come across a flooded roadway, and take tornado warnings and sirens seriously!
