One of the more unusual stories to come out of last weekend's deadly tornadoes was this one from Norfolk. A Norfolk resident says she found a Colerain, North Carolina woman's driver's license in her front yard. Colerain was hit hard by the severe weather. So, did a twister really carry it all the way to Norfolk, a distance of more than 50 miles? It seems plausible, given that Norfolk lies in the general direction that the storm was travelling. Tornadoes have been known to scoop fish out of the water and drop them miles away. A driver's license seems possible, if unlikely.
Here's the story from WAVY-TV 10.
By the way, I determined the distance from Colerain to Norfolk "as the crow flies" using this handy tool. Bookmark it for your kid's next math project.
