Damage, power outages left in the wake of Wednesday Storm

A line of severe thunderstorms moved through the central part of North Carolina on Wednesday, resulting in limited damage as several tornadoes were seen across the region.

thunderstorms began to appear before dawn southwest of Raleigh, but heavy storms did not start until later in the morning. As temperatures rose during the day and the sun peaked during the early afternoon, warm weather provided added fuel to a second batch of storms that made their way through the region.

Tornadoes were spotted in Vance, Cumberland and Granville counties like the rest of the region experienced strong winds and heavy rain.

Although most areas not heavily damaged, several reports of fallen trees and damaged houses left Oxford.
