Severe thunderstorms affected portions of the Eastern Carolinas late Friday night.  There have been two confirmed tornadoes within the News13 viewing area.  Fortunately, there were no deaths from the storms.  However, stronger storms affected portions of North Carolina, near Raleigh.  There are two that died as a result of the overnight storms.

In the spirit of Election Day, I held an informal election of sorts to give myself a better idea of what a “nice” day is to most Eastern Carolinians.  The results are really “bugging” me this morning--pun intended.

You won’t need an umbrella this Halloween, so I will advise against the Mary Poppins costume this year.  However, it probably won’t be warm enough for all the aspiring lifeguards we have out there either.  Find out if the weather tonight will be a treat or a trick inside.
