WPTF MORNING SHOW 12/11/23: Cleanup Begins After Garner Tornado

If you missed Monday’s interviews, or want to listen to them again, we have you covered!

INTERVIEW WITH LANCE BLOCKER

CBS17 Meteorologist Lance Blocker was on TV all day Sunday with live coverage of the severe weather that rolled through the Triangle, and the tornado that touched down in Garner. He recapped the event with Rob Connett.

Residents in Garner continue to clean up from Sunday’s EF-1 tornado. Nick Petro with the National Weather Service in Raleigh talked with us about what goes into determining the category of a tornado, and how rare it is to have a tornado in December.
