What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Apr 25, 8:47 PM EDT	MARINE TSTM WIND 43	1 Wsw Eagleton, NC	PUBLIC WX STATION REPORTED A 43 MPH MARINE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUST.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
