Residents begin process of cleaning up after severe weather
Thursday’s severe weather led to a Friday of cleanup for many residents across central North Carolina.
Areas all over the WRAL viewing area were busy cutting up trees, making repairs to homes and accessing the damage from Thursday’s strong storms which moved through much of our state. Some areas were experiencing flooding from the large amount of rain that came down so quickly as crews worked to restore power.
WRAL’s reporters were all over the region on Friday covering the aftermath of Thursday’s storms.
