Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAs the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee tracked along a frontal zone that extended from the southern Appalachians into central Virginia, heavy rain and severe storms spread into central North Carolina. The initial severe weather threat, during the early morning hours, was tornadoes, due to the highly sheared environment associated with the former tropical cyclone. As the day progressed, and the remnant low of Lee continued to weaken, the severe weather threat transitioned to straight line winds, as instability increased with the heating of the day.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeAccording the fire department chief, lightning struck a tree in the backyard and ran underground and came up inside the house and set the house on fire. The kitchen and an enclosed porch were destroyed, with the remainder of the house suffering heavy smoke damage. The home owner was present at the time of the fire, but escaped with any injuries.
