Storm record · Onslow County
Onslow County's record includes 6 tornadoes
What the public record says about roofs in Swansboro and the rest of Onslow County
Between 2016 and 2026 NOAA logged 93 roof-relevant storm events in Onslow County: 68 thunderstorm wind, 19 hail and 6 tornadoes. The strongest straight-line gust on file is 70 kt, on Apr 13, 2020.
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.
Individual events in the Onslow County file

* 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 · Onslow County
A 70 kt gust is on the Onslow County record
Onslow County is in North Carolina’s CAMA coastal area — why the standard keeps coming up on roofs in Swansboro
70 kt is the strongest gust NOAA holds for Onslow County, recorded on Apr 13, 2020. Wind accounts for 68 of the county's 93 roof-relevant events between 2016 and 2026, against 19 hail events and 6 tornadoes.
FORTIFIED requires a covering carrying the top wind ratings — ASTM D3161 Class F or ASTM D7158 Class H for asphalt — and then the two things underneath it that decide whether a gust costs a few tabs or a whole slope: ring-shank nails in an enhanced pattern holding the deck to the rafters, and a sealed deck beneath the covering. Vents have to be tested against wind-driven rain, which is the item most often quietly substituted out of a bid.
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.
