Piedmont Triad wakes up to damage, debris from severe storms Monday morning

Tornado warnings were issued for several Triad counties, and computer models indicate a tornado touched down near the town of Saxapahaw in Alamance County.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Severe storms left behind down trees and power lines early Monday morning in the Piedmont Triad. Officials confirmed a person died when a tree fell on top of a trailer in Davidson County. 

In Alamance County, a tornado touched down near the towns of Eli Whitney, Sutphin, and Saxapahaw around 6:30 a.m. The National Weather Service reported damage to homes in the area. 

Our Alma McCarty spoke to a mom and son who hid in the bathtub of their home in the town of Eli Whitney. They let WFMY News 2 get a look inside. The roof is completely gone, walls were torn down, and there is debris everywhere inside the home.

You're sharing your photos and videos of the storm aftermath with us. Here's a look at the damage across the Triad.
