A view of heavy wind and rain during storms in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday (February 6).

There were reports of at least nine tornadoes in the Carolinas on Thursday.

According to the National Weather Service, severe storms will bring a risk of damaging winds and tornados in the Southeast while heavy rainfall poses a risk for flooding for the East Coast.

Flights were halted at Charlotte Douglas International Airport because of a tornado warning.

The filmer told Newsflare: "I went to see the size of the hailstones through the window of my front door and unexpectedly the winds ramped up and I could see circulation."

Thunderstorms and tornados had already gone through parts of our city, then things calmed for a bit before thunderstorms returned and hail unexpectedly began. I went to see the size of the hailstones through the window of my front door, and unexpectedly the winds ramped up and I could see circulation. I can’t outright say I saw a tornado, as my viewing range was limited, but as this storm proceeded east, tornado touchdowns were confirmed with lots of damage, just past my area.
