Storm slams Cleveland and Gaston counties
A storm packed lightning thunder hail and possible tornadoes swept through Gaston and Cleveland counties Wednesday afternoon. A National Weather Service team surveyed Cleveland County Thursday to confirm a tornado path with trees down around Shelby Bessemer City and Gastonia and widespread wind damage. Rain along the track reached about two and a half inches as officials noted no confirmed tornado sightings yet.
