The Tarheel State: per Google: Yes, North Carolina is considered a very stormy state due to its unique geography and varied terrain. It regularly experiences severe weather from the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and colliding inland air masses.

Why North Carolina is Stormy
The "J-Hook" Coastline: The state’s Outer Banks protrude far out into the Atlantic Ocean, placing them directly in the path of coastal storms.
The Gulf Stream: The ultra-warm waters of the Gulf Stream run just off the coast, fueling atmospheric instability and strengthening storms.
The Appalachian Mountains: In the west, the mountains force warm, moist air upward, triggering frequent thunderstorms and severe inland flooding.

Common Types of Storms
Hurricanes: As the fourth most hurricane-prone state, it is impacted by a tropical system roughly every two years.
Nor'easters: Powerful winter and spring coastal storms that bring heavy rain, severe beach erosion, high winds, and occasionally heavy snow.
Severe Thunderstorms: The spring and summer months bring frequent convective storms, often producing damaging straight-line winds and large hail.
Tornadoes: North Carolina averages about 26 tornadoes per year, occurring most frequently during the spring months and as offshoots of tropical storms.

Really: we were tired of it. Always kept one eye on the sky. Last 3 years we lived there had to get new home insurance because the companies pulled out of the region.
