| episode_narrative | Two lines of strong and severe thunderstorms moved across the mountains during the early morning hours, causing a considerable amount of wind damage. One severe thunderstorm spawned a weak tornado in the city of Asheville around sunrise. Along the 2 mile damage path, 500 trees were downed, many on homes and vehicles. A garage was destroyed, roofs were blown partially off a couple buildings, a school roof was damaged, and some condos were condemned from tree damage. Elsewhere in the mountains, damaging thunderstorm winds of nearly 70 mph at times blew numerous trees down, many on houses and cars. A few thousand people were left without power. In addition to damaging wind, a few reports of dime to quarter size hail were received. Intense lightning in Robbinsville knocked out the Graham county 911 system for the entire day, and wind gusts near 55 mph blew numerous small limbs onto power lines which resulted in additional power outages across the county. |
