Survivors go through North Carolina tornado rubble
USA Today – Nov 18, 2006
Hundreds of people in New York and dozens in Maryland had to be rescued Thursday from homes and cars caught in flash flooding. Most of Maine was still under a flood watch Friday. The tornado that hit Riegelwood left about 100 people homeless but all residents were believed to have been accounted for Columbus County Sheriff Chris Batten said Friday. He said a water search team still planned to check a nearby pond for any additional victims. Residents meanwhile were getting a chance to retrieve whatever valuables they could salvage from devastated homes. Darryl McNair had been sleeping when the tornado picked up his mobile home and tossed it across the street into his neighbor’s yard. “You could feel the house moving” McNair 34 said during a break from picking through rubble Friday… He said a water search team still planned to check a nearby pond for any additional victims.

Hurricane Season Defies Predictions
Washington Post – Nov 18, 2006
In the end the 2006 season managed to produce nine tropical storms; five became hurricanes. None of the hurricanes hit the United States. There are still two weeks to go but the U. National Hurricane Center said there is little sign of action in the Atlantic. The Colorado State team was not alone in predicting that 2006 would be more active than an average year in which the Atlantic can be expected to spawn 10 tropical storms of which six will strengthen into hurricanes. No one foresaw what happened in 2005 when 28 storms swarmed out of the Atlantic and 15 became hurricanes with winds of at least 74 mph.
