Raleigh, N.C., April 28—Property losses estimated at $75,000 and injury to several persons resulted from tornadoes that fell upon Warrenton and upon the Lucama section, six miles south of Wilson, late this afternoon.
No injuries were reported from Warrenton but the property loss from the destruction of tobacco prize houses and the blowing down of garages will reach $50,000.
A negro boy was blown across an open field, a negro woman was hit on the head, and a white woman had leg broken in the Lucama section.
Heavy thunderstorms visited Raleigh and other sections in eastern North Carolina during the early evening.
