Bert, if they’re in Durham, they weren’t in the path of the tornado. I’m in southwest Durham (near South Square if you know the area) and the tornado passed 15-20 miles south of here. It touched down near Sanford where it caused significant damage, came through Holly Springs, then apparently just south of downtown Raleigh and exited out toward Rolesville/Wake Forest.
There is a second tornado that may be even stronger down around the Benson/Dunn/Smithfield area.

I have a friend that lives just east of The Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts (or whatever it is called now) and Shaw University and they had major damage.
