RALEIGH, N.C. — In April 2011, a tornado ripped through central North Carolina.
Jerome Waller, who currently lives in Graham, lived through it, and says he was sitting inside Tupper Memorial Baptist Church for his daughter’s choir concert when it hit.
The beautiful sounds inside were quickly interrupted by the severe weather outside.
“We just heard all this noise and it was like a train kind of,” Waller recalls. “You come back out and it’s like branches and limbs, and just stuff all everywhere. The wind was still blowing, the sky looked terrible. It was like, 'hey, we gotta get out of Raleigh.'”
