A tornado watch was issued for parts of North Carolina to the DC-Baltimore region. Debby’s shift to the Northeast comes after its death toll rose to six Thursday when a destructive tornado killed a man in Lucama, North Carolina. Parts of Springfield Middle School lay on the ground after being ripped off by a tornado, spawned by Debby, in Lucama, North Carolina, Thursday. A tornado in Snow Hill, North Carolina early Thursday was described as “large, extremely dangerous and potentially deadly.” A tornado watch is in effect through 8 p.m. ET for 6.8 million people in parts of eastern North Carolina and southern Virginia, including the cities of Raleigh, Virginia Beach and Richmond.
