ANDERSON, N.C. -- Just before 5 p.m. Tuesday, severe storms hit the town of Anderson in Caswell County.
"The wind just got up real strong and stuff was flying every which a way," said Herman Roberts, whose sister-in-law's house was damaged in the storm.
"The big trees, actually three trees, came up and fell in down in the house," he said.
But luckily everyone inside was OK.
Officials believe a tornado was to blame for two to three miles of damage in Caswell County. "Everybody's fine, there's a whole lot of damage in the yard and the boat shed is gone," Roberts said.
Caswell Emergency Management officials believe it was a tornado that caused damage for two or three miles in Anderson. Officials hope to take a closer look at the damage in the daylight on Wednesday.
"The fire department is taking care of everything as far as covering and helping the family and that's about all we can do for tonight," Jaither Clayton, with Caswell EMS, said.
The National Weather Service will be in Caswell on Wednesday to determine if a tornado touched down.

UNITED KINGDOM.- A powerful storm battered the south and west of Britain today, flooding homes and disrupting sea, air, rail and road travel, with forecasters warning of more potential damage to come.
An initial coastal surge early this morning, caused by a combination of strong winds, low pressure and a high spring tide, flooded some homes and businesses in Cornwall and parts of Wales, although the damage was less severe than feared.
The Environment Agency was warning of a risk of renewed flooding around high tide this evening. One severe flood warning was in place in Chichester, West Sussex, and there were another 22 flood warnings, mostly in the south and south-west of England.
"We are still urging people to find out about local warnings and to be prepared," an Environment Agency spokeswoman said.
Stephen Davenport, a senior forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: "There are still gales of 70-80mph to come this evening, in the south west, in a second wave. It will be windy elsewhere too, but calming down during the night.
"The next event comes on Tuesday night, and early Wednesday, when there will be more high winds, this time across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland, northern England and north Wales, with gusts of more than 70mph expected. There will also be gales then in the south and south west."
