At least six killed amid flooding, tornadoes
At least six people were killed as Tropical Storm Isaias triggered tornadoes and heavy rain on Tuesday along the US East Coast after it made landfall through North Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane. Most of Tuesday’s damage seemed to be east and north of where the hurricane’s eye tore through land in North Carolina, causing floods and fires that displaced dozens of people. Two people died when Isaias spun off a tornado that struck a mobile home park in Windsor, Bertie County officials said. Twelve people were injured and taken to hospitals. Bertie County Sheriff John Holley told reporters 10 mobile homes had been destroyed in the area. “It doesn’t look real, it looks like something on TV. Nothing is there,” Holley said. “All my officers are down there at this time. Pretty much the entire trailer park is gone.
