Flat Rock Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Sporadic damage was first observed along CR-71, north of Pisgah with much more widespread tree and structure damage observed CR-71 and CR-60, entering into Rosalie, where the tornado was suspected to touch down. Numerous hardwood and pine softwood trees were observed to be uprooted or snapped along with several wooden power line poles snapped. As the tornado moved east-northeast, nearly on top of CR-71, roof damage was reported to a brick church. Additionally, a large two story wooden structure (used for church related receptions) was heavily damaged. Damage indicators for that structure were related to a small barn. EF-1 damage was recorded for the area around the church with winds approximately 100 mph.||EF-2 damage was observed nearly one quarter mile further ENE along CR-71. A long, one story strip mall was destroyed (Rosalie Plaza Grocery). The assessment team noted that the roof was not strapped down and that cinder blocks were only held together by mortar. It was determined that the tornado likely blew the roof off the structure which quickly led to the block walls to collapse. Winds of 125 mph were estimated.||Additional EF-2 damage was reported one quarter to one third mile further ENE along CR-71. Several mobile homes, with at least one mobile home noted to have been tied down, were completely destroyed. Three fatalities were reported from this section of damage. Additionally, numerous softwood trees were either uprooted or snapped along with several wooden power poles snapped.
