Two tornadoes struck parts of Currituck County during severe thunderstorms late Sunday evening, officials say.

One tornado touched down near Grandy on U.S. Highway 158 and the other in Maple between South Indiantown Road and Maple Road, said Randall Edwards, Currituck's public information officer.

Edwards said a portion of U.S. 158 was closed for a couple of hours while crews removed debris from the roadway.

While the storm's winds knocked down trees, fences and damaged storage sheds, there were no reports of major damage or injuries, he said.

Meanwhile in Elizabeth City, heavy rainfall flooded parts of the Riverside and White Hall Shores areas,

threatening homes and businesses, said Christy Saunders, the Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Management Coordinator. Camden Causeway also flooded.

The storm also knocked out power to residents in Pasquotank and Perquimans counties.

About 1,600 members of Albemarle Electric Membership Corp. lost power, said Chris Powell, the company's public relations director.

"The causes were a lightning strike on one of the main lines in the Pasquotank section and a downed tree in the Perquimans section," Powell said.

Residents were without power for a maximum of three hours as crews began making repairs as early as 5:30 p.m. and by 8:30 p.m. power was restored, he said.

Those who lost power in Perquimans were around the Winfall area and those in Pasquotank were in the Queenswood subdivision area.

And in Elizabeth City between 1,000 and 1,500 residents near downtown and in areas off U.S. Highway 17 South lost power for about three hours, said Karl Clow, the city's electric superintendent. Clow said the damage was caused mostly by falling tree limbs and crews had completed repairs as of 12:30 a.m. Monday.
