Crews searched for survivors today in North Carolina, the state which received the hardest hit by a storm system that created dozens of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Virginia. No less than 62 tornadoes hit North Carolina. More than 240 tornadoes were reported from the storm system, including the 62 in NC.

Many of the deaths occurred in mobile homes. Census data from 2007 estimates 14.5% of homes in North Carolina are mobile homes.

At least eight tornadoes ripped across parts of central North Carolina on Sunday night, injured at least twelve people, displaced seventy others and caused major property damage and power outages.

The tornadoes were accompanied by rain, huge chunks of hail and 70-mph winds, and they caused the most damage in the Triad region in the north-central part of the state, which includes three major cities: Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point. Meanwhile, one tornado touched down only 8 miles west of Charlotte, the state’s largest city, reported AccuWeather. Tornado warnings were also issued for northern Georgia Sunday night, but that state appears to have been spared the worst.
