YANCEYVILLE, N.C. — Storms rocked the Piedmont Triad Friday bringing hail, and strong wind damage.
A possible tornado might have even caused heavy damage in Yanceyville in Caswell County. The National Weather Service will have to investigate in order to confirm.
The area hit hard includes the Farmer Lake Marina in Yanceyville. A roof was lifted off a picnic shelter and thrown to the ground. A number of trees were also snapped in half.
Meteorologist Tim Buckley said there was a lot of rotation at the time on radar in that area.
