Severe Weather Brings Down Large Trees, Causes Heavy Damage

IRON STATION, NC — Strong winds and heavy rains brought down multiple trees throughout the area Wednesday afternoon.

Neighbors say it felt more like a tornado coming as severe thunderstorms pushed into the area around 4pm. Heavy winds uprooted several massive trees.

One tree fell on top of an entire house. Across the street, at Tina Robinson’s home, a neighbor’s tree fell on all three of their vehicles.

Robinson says her insurance won’t cover the damage, but hopes her neighbor’s will. After hearing what sounded like a train coming through however, Robinson says she’s just glad they’re alive.
