Saturday was a stormy evening in parts of the Triangle as a few isolated severe storms pounded the area with rain, hail, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. The above pictures were taken by Chief Meteorologist Gary Stephenson as the storm clouds rolled into Wake County Saturday evening.
The storms did not produce widespread damage, but there were a few reports of downed trees and hail. Gary also took these photos of trees down along Carpenter Pond Road in eastern Durham County. The trees also brought down utility poles knocking out power in the area for around 12 hours.
