downeastnc Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 The November 1992 Tornado Outbreak began on 11/21/1992 in and around Southeast Texas. For the few of you who are not familiar with this widespread regional tornado outbreak, here are a few informative links you can read through... The November 1992 Tornado Outbreak This outbreak includes the F3 tornado that holds the record for track length in NC at 160 miles. Also the timing was horrible hitting between 4-6 am luckily and surprisingly no one was killed by this tornado. Below is a paragraph from the RAH case study of the event "The final round of severe weather began when a large supercell thunderstorm developed over eastern Harnett county at around 400 AM. This storm tracked rapidly northeast to near Elizabeth City by around 630 AM. The tornado initially touched down as an F3 tornado at 410 AM between Angier and Coats near the Harnett and Johnston county line. This tornado then moved northeast for 160 miles before lifting (a North Carolina record). The tornado produced a nearly continuous path of F2 and occasionally F3 damage from Wilson Mills in central Johnston County through Wilson, just south of Tarboro in Edgecombe County, through northwest Martin County, across Bertie County including Windsor, finally passing through Chowan, Perquimans, and Pasquotank Counties. In Pasquotank County at Elizabeth City, a school bus in route to school was carried 75 yards, injuring 21 people. The tornado dissipated before crossing the Pasquotank River". http://www4.ncsu.edu...cases/19921122/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srain Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 What memories. I was on duty as a Professional Fire Fighter that day and remember that burst of frantic calls for assistance via the Mutual Aid frequencies of that time. The Channelview F-4 was the scene I responded to. The sights and tragedy of that day will not be soon forgotten. Thank for sharing. http://www.stormtrack.org/library/1992/houston.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 This was a very significant/widespread outbreak especially considering the time of year. The Indiana portion featured 15 tornadoes, several of which were strong, including an F3 that hit the east side of Indianapolis: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ind/?n=nov22_1992tor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
