Storm record · Beaufort County
Beaufort County's record includes 6 tornadoes
What the public record says about roofs in Aurora and the rest of Beaufort County
Between 2016 and 2026 NOAA logged 91 roof-relevant storm events in Beaufort County: 66 thunderstorm wind, 19 hail and 6 tornadoes. The strongest straight-line gust on file is 61 kt, on Jun 3, 2022.
Tornado damage is different in kind from everything else in this record. It is narrow — a track a few hundred yards wide can take the roofs off one street and leave the next street untouched — and inside the track the failure is structural rather than cosmetic: decking lifted off the rafters, whole roof planes removed, debris driven through what is left. For the far larger number of homes that sit outside the track, the damage is the same physics as any severe-wind event: pressure at the edges lifting tabs along the eaves and rakes, ridge caps displaced, and impact marks from debris carried out of the track. Both are worth looking at after a tornado-producing system crosses the county, and the dated entries below say when those systems came through.

* 2026 is a partial year — the record runs to the most recent update of the source, not to the end of the year, so its bar is not comparable with the others. A year showing zero had no recorded hail, tornado or thunderstorm-wind event in this county.

FORTIFIED on the coast · Beaufort County
Coastal Beaufort County, and a standard written for wind
Beaufort County is in North Carolina’s CAMA coastal area — why the standard keeps coming up on roofs in Aurora
Wind is 66 of the 91 roof-relevant events NOAA logged in Beaufort County between 2016 and 2026, against 19 hail events and 6 tornadoes. The strongest gust in the file is 61 kt, measured on Jun 3, 2022.
At the FORTIFIED Roof level the standard is five requirements: a sealed roof deck, ring-shank deck attachment in an enhanced nailing pattern, a wider drip edge with a fully adhered starter, a covering carrying the required wind rating, and attic vents tested against wind-driven rain. All five are settled while the roof is stripped and invisible the day after, which is why the standard turns on photographs of concealed work rather than on how a finished roof looks from the driveway.
FORTIFIED is a voluntary resilience construction standard published by IBHS — a way of building a roof and documenting how it was built, not a warranty, a claims service, or a promise about any storm. Carolina Trophy Roofs is a FORTIFIED certified roofer: we build to the standard and photograph the concealed work. The evaluator has to be a separate party from the installing roofer, and IBHS issues the designation after reviewing what that evaluator submits.
