RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — After tornado warnings in Cumberland and Sampson counties Tuesday evening, another warning was issued in Columbus County — where a tornado was spotted and caused damage near Whiteville, reports said.
The first tornado warning was issued around 6:30 p.m. for Cumberland County and then an hour later for Sampson County. Both were allowed to expire.
But, just after 7:45 p.m. a tornado warning was issued for Columbus County and soon after there were reports a tornado was on the ground.
A woman in a car caught video of the possible tornado northwest of Whiteville on Old Lumberton Road and Red Store Road.
The video showed debris swirling in the air along with what appeared to be a funnel cloud and a vortex spinning along a road.
Columbus County Emergency Services reported that four homes were damaged just before 7:50 p.m. on Red Store Road near Old Lumberton Road from the winds that were seen in a video.
In Robeson County, just after 6 p.m. there was roof damage and trees down from a possible tornado, according to the National Weather Service.
