Massive tree uprooted after Hurricane Dorian

NEW HANOVER COUNTY (WWAY)– The National Weather Service confirmed three tornadoes in our area.

Dorian was one of those in Myrtle Grove. It scared residents and uprooted a massive tree.

Residents say they experienced a tornado that came from behind a house on Sandbar Lane, rapidly making its way to areas in Southeast Harbor Drive.
