Description:

A fast moving meso-lowl that formed from an old Gulf Coast States Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) 12 to 24 hours earlier moved northeast through western South Carolina and the western sections of North Carolina. It produced extensive wind damage and several tornadoes on the evening of May 5, 1989. Forsyth county, especially the city of Winston Salem, received the worst damage in the Northwest Piedmont but fortunately no lives were lost.
