The wicked winds during Tuesday's storm flattened many barns and sheds throughout the Newschannel 7 viewing area.

In the Town of Schley in Lincoln County, we found one barn that was completely leveled. Neighbors say it used to be beautiful and strong. The family already has insurance inspectors assessing the damage.

Not more than a mile down the street, another barn is destroyed.

A camper that was sitting near the house was thrown at least 20 feet. A fishing boat on its trailer was also in the yard, but it is missing. Neighbors suspect it was blown into a nearby field.
