FUNNEL CLOUD SEEN IN CAROLINE

Several Caroline County residents called 911 about 4:40 p.m. yesterday to report seeing a tornado in the Dawn area.

Caroline sheriff's Sgt. R.L. Hixson said the tornado was seen on Courtney, Camp, Edgar and Herring Creek roads. Authorities found numerous trees down across roads and power lines. No injuries or major structural damage were reported.

The National Weather Service office in Wakefield said it will investigate reports of the tornado and other wind damage, but probably will not make any determinations until today.
