Storms

None of us want to think about hurricane season, but the reality is we are a month and a half away from the start of the season.

Forecasters are warning of severe storms as a powerful weather system moves across our region.

An area of low pressure located about 750 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands is looking like it will be out next named storm.

The storms that blew through last night did some damage to homes, cars, trees and power lines. Our hearts go out to those affected. The storms also created some incredible cloud formations and people posted pictures to facebook. We thought we would share some of those.

UPDATE 10:10 a.m. -- DeQuincy Memorial representatives confirmed that they are evacuating some patients to Vinton after a portion of the roof was blown off the facility. The hospital, however, is still open and receiving patients as needed.
