Hurricanes epitomize Mother Nature’s sheer force as a catalyst for catastrophe and wanton destruction. Along with unrelenting high winds, victims who find themselves helplessly in their path must also contend with a deluge of debris and perpetual chaos.
As if flash flooding wasn’t enough, those who choose to ride out the storm as opposed to evacuating must also withstand another threat from these cyclones that are seldomly consider: tornadoes. As hurricanes breach inner coastal communities, the storm’s outer bands are notorious for spawning sporadic tornadoes. Many people don’t associate these whirlwinds of destruction with hurricanes until it’s far too late. Unfortunately, residents of eastern North Carolina learned of this delicate nuance far too late as Hurricane Isaias unleashed 12 tornadoes after making landfall last week.
Altogether, the hurricane was responsible for creating 35 tornadoes as it trekked slowly up the east coast. The strongest tornado claimed two lives in Bertie County and destroyed a mobile home park near Windsor. Catastrophes such as these are truly unpredictable. Despite the tremendous progress being made by meteorologists in predicting killer hurricanes, these storms have a mind of their own once they make landfall.
