Emergency personnel confer in front of Lowe's Home Improvement after it was hit by a tornado in Sanford, N.C., Saturday, April 16. Homes and businesses were badly damaged Saturday by a severe storm system that whipped across North Carolina, bringing flash floods, hail and reports of tornadoes from the western hills to the streets of Raleigh. In the Lee County town of Sanford, a Lowe's store was smashed by the storm. "The Lowe's Home Improvement has been flattened," said Monica Elliott, who works at the nearby Brick City Grill. "It's totally destroyed."

To the managers and associates at the Sanford Lowe's: Congratulations on keeping your customers safe through this devestating event! This could have been much worse had you not taken action. I work at Home Depot store #3608 in Charlotte. I and all of my fellow associates and managers would like to wish you our best. We hope that you will be able to work in other stores until your store is rebuilt. Our prayers are with you all!
