Many reports of trees down and large hail were received from the western piedmont. A car was blown off the road near Kings Creek. Chicken houses were damaged near Taylorsville allowing ten thousand chickens to run free. Numerous trees were uprooted in Monroe and wind blown golf ball size hail broke windows and damaged cars. Heavy rain in a short period of time resulted in some urban flooding from the Belmont and Mount Holly areas, to the south side of Charlotte. Numerous roads were flooded and several motorists required rescue in different parts of the city. Lightning severely damaged a church in Millersville, but no damage estimate was available. Several homes were struck by lightning in the Charlotte area, causing extensive damage. In Wingate, one house was severely damaged and two others minorly damaged by lightning.
