The meteorologists have released the results of their storm survey and they have determined that the damage caused by the storm was done by 115 mph straight-line winds, instead of a tornado.
They report that homes and outbuildings were damaged and trees were uprooted and snapped during the storm.
Halifax County Emergency Management assisted with the survey.
