| Episode Narrative | A very strong pressure gradient developed as a vigorous area of low pressure moved northeast from the North Carolina coast to off the Long Island coast developing into a nor'easter and high pressure progressed into the area from the midwest. Trees and power lines were knocked down as a result of the strong winds which were common across the region. There was also some minor damage to some structures. Most areas experienced wind gusts between 50 and 60 mph...with isolated wind gusts approaching 70 mph. |
| Event Narrative | Approximately 90 to 100 trees were blown down across the county. In Rocky Mount, a storefront glass window was broken by the wind, and a carport was blown onto Highway 220. |
