Tornado. NWS storm survey found the path of a sixth tornado that affected the North Carolina foothills and far western Piedmont on 8 October 2017 in the Hudson area of Caldwell County. The tornado touched down near the intersection of Highway 321 and Mt Herman Rd, where a large truck was overturned. The tornado moved north/northeast, initially paralleling Mt Vernon Rd. Numerous trees were uprooted and snapped, with one large tree falling on and causing significant damage to a home. The tornado peaked in intensity near Fairwood Dr, where two small houses had much of their roofing material removed and a concrete block building had its roof blown off. Two churches also had their steeples blown off along with some additional roof damage. The tornado weakened, but continued to blow down trees and power lines as it crossed Alfred Hartley Rd. At that point, it entered a heavily wooded area on Hibriten Mountain. Based upon dual pol radar data and information from local officials, the tornado likely continued through there, with the path re-emerging and ending in the Cedar Rock community, where additional downed trees and minor structural damage were observed.
