RALEIGH, N.C. ? Schools and government buildings across North Carolina are holding tornado drills with the spring storm season already bringing destruction.
The statewide rehearsal of emergency plans comes Wednesday, less than a week since tornadoes ripped through western North Carolina.
The National Weather Service confirmed a rare tornado swept across Cherokee County in the North Carolina mountains, while another struck near the Mecklenburg and Cabarrus county line.
The weather service issued more than 200 tornado warnings for North Carolina last year. The state had 63 tornadoes last year, more than twice the average. Twenty-six people were killed and hundreds were hurt.
