Yes. North Carolina does get tornadoes. As to why, the simplest way of saying is that there are very few places that don't get tornadoes, though they are rare in most areas. In a bit more detail. North Carolina has a relatively warm, moist climate, which makes it prone to thunderstorms. The location in the middle latitudes also means that the atmopshere can become quite unstable at times due to contrasts in temperature, which can lead to severe thunderstormsS ome of these may produce tornadoes if a few other conditions are right.
