3 dead, 10 hurt after tornado rips through Brunswick County

Ed Conrow, director of Emergency Management Services in Brunswick County, said the tornado touched down in the area of Seaside Road and NC 17 just before midnight.

“As daylight comes out we are going to do a systematic search through all the residences and structures that were destroyed or damaged to confirm any injuries or fatalities in them. That search is probably going to take several hours this morning and I expect to go into the afternoon tomorrow,” Conrow said.
