0752 PM     Tornado          Mount Ulla              35.66N 80.73W
04/11/2024                   Rowan              NC   NWS Storm Survey

            The tornado touched down just off of NC
            Highway 801 in Mount Ulla at approximately
            7:52 pm on April 11th, 2024 based on radar
            data via Charlotte Terminal Doppler Radar.
            At the initial touch down, the tornado
            uplifted a roof deck and loss significant
            roof covering material. At the same
            location, a chimney collapsed, while garage
            doors collapsed inward. The structure was
            displaced off of its foundation. Tree trunks
            were snapped and uprooted as well. The
            tornado then moved northeast across the
            intersection of Back Creek Road and NC
            Highway 801, where several trees were
            snapped or uprooted. A minute later, the
            tornado hit Mount Ulla Elementary School,
            where metal sheeting from the gym building
            peeled off, while very old wooden poles were
            broken, most likely hit by metal roof that
            peeled off the gym building. The tornado
            then crossed NC Highway 801 and Unberger
            Road, where large tree branches were broken,
            plus sheet metal from the school lofted to
            the nearby property, before the tornado
            lifted after traveling just over a mile long
            path.
