The storm system has moved out of Campbell County, and there is currently no immediate threat to residents in the area. South Highway 59 remains open.

The damage comes after a severe thunderstorm tore through the area on Wednesday. Nobody saw a twister, but then again, it was hard to see under those conditions.

It is not officially known yet if this was a tornado. But the way structures were ripped open and items were tossed about suggests that it was.
