Event narrative

Power outages were caused by fallen trees damaging power equipment in north Henderson.

Wider weather episode

A pre-frontal trough and an approaching cold front from upstream thunderstorms combined to spark two areas of storm development that produced severe and damaging wind gusts. The most prolific was a microburst in western Johnston County that shut down Interstate 40 for several hours between North Carolina highway 42 and North Carolina highway 210.
