Holed: A car is swallowed up when a tree was felled by a tornado near Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday In North Carolina, 62 twisters were reported, destroying homes, taking the roof off a school, flipping cars, bringing down electricity lines and cutting off power to around 200,000 homes in the state.The National Weather Service reported 23 people were confirmed as having been killed in the state.

'This doesn't happen very often in this part of the country.’According to experts there were three ingredients in place to create the violent tornado outbreak - a powerful jet stream, abundant moisture and a strong cold front.A powerful jet stream helped to enhance the thunderstorm growth, while moisture surging in from the Gulf of Mexico acted as fuel for the thunderstorms.North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue declared a state of emergency for the entire state and said they have been ‘assured we'll have whatever federal support we'll need’.
