Strong storms prompting tornado warnings arrived in the Charlotte area Monday afternoon and widespread damage and flooding were reported in several counties.
The fast-moving system started to clear out of the area early Monday night, but not before leaving a trail of damage behind it.
The storm blew through Burke County leaving two hangars at the Hickory Airport mangled with planes flipped over.
Some area schools will be on a two-hour delay or will be closed Tuesday as a result of Monday's storm damage.
