   "description": "*** 1 INJ *** An EF-1 tornado touched down near Casar, North Carolina. The first evidence of damage was observed along Parker Road near Jesse Mountain Road, where several large pine trees were uprooted or snapped near the tops of their trunks. The most concentrated damage occurred as the tornado tracked eastward across Dirty Ankle Road and Ankle Road. Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped, and several homes sustained primarily minor damage. An attached porch was displaced several feet from a manufactured home. Trees fell in a convergent pattern, supporting the determination that the damage was tornadic. A camper was overturned, and one person who was inside at the time sustained minor injuries. The tornado continued eastward into far northwestern Lincoln County, producing sporadic tree damage near North Carolina Highway 10 before dissipating near the Lincoln County and Catawba County line. The estimated peak wind speed was 90 mph.",
