A possible tornado touched down on the outskirts of Greensboro late Thursday as severe storms swept across the Southeast, damaging homes and businesses in at least three other states.
At the Greensboro-Highpoint airport a Fed-Ex plane and one other could be seen where strong winds blew them.
Guilford County emergency services director Alan Perdue says one person was killed in a small truck that overturned in a parking lot west of Greensboro. He said three others were injured - one when the storm knocked down a wall at a distributing business, and authorities were looking for any others in an industrial park on the edge of town.
Michelle Brock, assistant coordinator for Forsyth County Emergency Management, said several homes in the Clemmons area, just west of Winston-Salem, were heavily damaged and a number of downed trees were causing problems. She said firefighters rescued five people because of flooding in Winston-Salem and that high water had displaced about 10 people.
Davie County Manager Terry Bralley said four or five homes were severely damaged by the storm but no one was badly injured.
