WANCHESE, N.C. (WAVY) — By tornado standards, it was weak, and it was brief, but it was still a tornado that touched down Thursday evening just south of Wanchese on Roanoke Island in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, according to a preliminary report from the National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC forecast office.

The EF-0 tornado had an estimated peak wind of 80 mph and moved for about two minutes for a path of less than a mile (0.82 miles) at a maximum path width of 100 yards. There were no injuries or fatalities, it said.

“A brief, weak tornado touched down Thursday evening just south of Wanchese on Roanoke Island,” according to the National Weather Service’s survey summary. “Video of the tornado was sent to the office of a brief touchdown over the baseball fields of Pigum Walker Park. The path consisted mainly of a mix of medium and large limbs across the field. A bleacher was tossed about 10 to 15 feet into the concessions building where it then lifted toward the parking lot. The concessions building lost shingles on both the south and north side of the building, a strong indication of rotation in this area, as confirmed by the video submitted to the office. Peak wind speeds here were estimated at around 80 mph.”

It said a narrow, sporadic damage path continued southeast across Brinkly Road and near Old Schoolhouse Road, with damage consisting mainly of medium-sized limbs, though a few larger limbs were noted. One tree, according to the survey summary, was snapped halfway up the base, but were likely weaker due to disease in the middle, with winds estimated around 75 mph.

The weather service’s survey summary noted that the tornado path continued toward the southeast on Holly Lane, where a medium, healthy tree was uprooted. It also came across a number of medium to large branches, with tree branches bent back toward the right of the path, which it said confirmed rotation in this area. The damage path, it said, ended near E.R. Daniels Road, where a shed blew over, and there were a few more medium limbs broken and some horse training equipment blown over.
