A severe storm uprooted multiple trees and downed power lines across Cherryville, North Carolina, on Tuesday, May 16, after officials warned of “a strong supercell” rolling into Gaston County with wind speeds of up to 70 mph.According to WCNC Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich, the damage was caused by either a tornado or straight-line winds.This footage from local photographer Jenni Nathe was captured after the storm on Tuesday evening, as she and her children inspected the damage.“All over town, there is a ton … of fallen trees,” Nathe says in the video. “The power lines have been ripped to shreds. It’s insane,” she continues. “This is a really devastating thing for such a small town,” she says.Four schools in Cherryville and the town’s library were closed on Wednesday, the county said.
