'It's bad': Sheriff says 1 killed, 10 homes destroyed in North Carolina tornado
WINDSOR, N.C. — One person is dead and several are missing after a tornado hit a neighborhood in Bertie County early Tuesday morning.
Sheriff John Hadley said he hasn’t seen anything this bad in the 38 years he has worked at the Bertie County Sheriff’s Office.
“It’s bad,” Hadley told WRAL News at the scene. “It doesn’t look real, it looks like something on TV. Nothing is there.”
Hadley said he got a call around 1:30 a.m. that a tornado hit the small neighborhood on Morning Road in the town of Windsor.
“All my officers are down there at this time,” he said. “Pretty much the entire trailer park is gone.”
