NEW HANOVER COUNTY (WWAY)– The National Weather Service confirmed three tornadoes in our area.

Dorian was one of those in Myrtle Grove. It scared residents and uprooted a massive tree.

Residents say they experienced a tornado that came from behind a house on Sandbar Lane, rapidly making its way to areas in Southeast Harbor Drive.

Some say, they could hear the tornado just seconds after they received a warning on their phones.

They say the tornado didn’t cause much damage to their homes like it did to their yards.
