North Carolina's second deadliest tornado in 50 years tore through the state in the early morning of November 16, 2006. According to the Wilmington Morning Star, the twister killed at least eight people including two young children.
The 1,000 foot wide twister carved a path of devastation more than half a mile wide and nearly a mile long, heaving homes from foundations, flipping cars and scattering debris and bodies across the countryside 20 miles west of Wilmington.
This was the scene observed by two Upstate South Carolina Chapter volunteers who were deployed to Wilmington to assist with shelter operations and logistical support.
As more information becomes available on the Red Cross operations in North Carolina, it will be posted on this site.
