| 13:02Z | EF2 | KMHX | NC | Carteret | Cape Carteret | A waterspout near Bogue Inlet Pier came onshore as a tornado near|Janell Ln., Boardwalk RV Park and Salty Pirate Waterpark in Emerald|Isle. The waterspout was quite large when it was offshore and was |viewed by the Bogue Inlet Pier web cam courtesy of Surfline. The |most intense damage was found here. On Janell Lane, a |section of a metal roof was removed on one side of a house that was |in the opposite direction of the storm motion. On the other side of |the house, with the storm motion, large sections of the metal |roof were removed with similar damage to a house next door. As the |path crossed into the RV park, numerous RV style homes were tossed |and rolled more than 30 feet, ripping out ground anchors that |strapped them down. ||In the middle of the path, where the winds were strongest, numerous|RV type homes suffered complete destruction. Based on the complete|destruction of the homes, along with the loss of substantial sections|of a metal roof, which usually have a higher wind rating, damage was|consistent with that of an EF 2 tornado or around 115 MPH.||The path continued to the north northwest where more damage was |found to the Salty Pirate Waterpark and continued across Highway 58 |(Emerald Drive) where several homes were damaged along W Harbor Trail |and Sunrise Ct. The tornado then moved over the Bogue Sound, |becoming a waterspout again. Eyewitness accounts indicate that a |funnel may have persisted, but no apparent tornado damage was |found in Cedar Point. ||Several videos from members of the public conclusively show that the |funnel cloud returned to the surface in the form of a waterspout as |it crossed over the lower White Oak River. The waterspout continued for |several minutes northwestward up the White Oak River before once |again coming ashore as a tornado and causing major roof damage to a |home on Watersedge Cir. and minor damage to several other structures |in the Holland Point Dr. area. ||The tornado then tracked through mostly forested and undeveloped |land for approximately 6 miles before heavily damaging a farm and |residential property on Kidd Ln. in Maysville. Based on eyewitness |accounts, the funnel cloud may have persisted for several more |miles, but the lack of identifiable tornado damage indicates that |the end of the tornado path was this location on Kidd Ln. in southern |Maysville. |
| 15:48Z | EF1 | KLTX | NC | New Hanover | Kirkland | A waterspout moved ashore over the northern end of Figure Eight|Island, causing EF0 damage to a couple beachfront homes and trees.|The tornado track was evident across the marsh towards the|Intracoastal Waterway, where it affected Bald Eagle Ln. At the|Bald Eagle Ln area there was one injury, numerous trees snapped|and uprooted, along with mostly minor home damage. The tornado|moved northwest towards Fazio Dr where it created its widest|damage, including some roof damage and large trees snapped near|the Porter's Neck golf course. The tornado continued to move|northwest to Futch Creek Rd and Plantation Landing Dr where it|lifted after producing EF0 damage, mainly to trees. |
| 16:19Z | EF1 | KLTX | NC | Pender | Clarks Lndg | A tornado formed near Forest Lane, where several large tree|branches were broken. The tornado continued off to the northwest,|where EF0 damage was also seen at Clarks Landing Loop Rd due to |several snapped trees near a field. Low-end EF1 damage was then |observed on Long Creek Loop Rd where softwood trees were snapped.|The tornado continued off to the northwest where damage was |limited to broken tree limbs, before lifting near Herrings Chapel|Rd and Mulberry Ln. |
| 16:37Z | EFU | KRAX | NC | Lenoir | Deep Run | NC highway patrol reported a tornado briefly touched down. |
| 17:10Z | EF0 | KLTX | NC | Pender | White Stocking | A tornado was likely already occurring as it moved into the old |Maple Hill Rd area south of Highway 53 causing trees to be |snapped. Prior to this time, it was likely over the Holly Shelter|swamp area which was unaccessible during our damage survey. The |tornado moved WNW, crossing Shaw Highway near Old Blakes Bridge |Rd. causing some minor tree damage. The tornado then crossed |Highway 53 causing additional tree damage. The tornado finally |lifted near Croomsbridge Rd north of Highway 53 in the Shelter |Neck area. |
| 17:52Z | EF0 | KRAX | NC | Wayne | Genoa | An EF-0 tornado briefly touched down in Mar-Mac, Wayne County, North |Carolina. The impacts consisted of shingle and siding damage to several homes, numerous large hardwood trees that were uprooted, a trailer that was rolled over, |and a pickup truck that was tossed several yards. This tornado occurred |in an outer rain band associated with Hurricane Dorian. |
| 18:30Z | EF0 | KMHX | NC | Craven | Vanceboro | The tornado started near the intersection of Gray and Lewis Road, and|moved off to the northwest where trees were down on Kite Town Road. The|sporadic path continued northwest across Wilmar Road before ending in a|field. The damage consisted mainly of uprooted or snapped trees with |estimated top winds of 75 mph.
