OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C. (WECT) - Three months after a tornado tore through part of Brunswick County, the neighborhood that suffered the most damage held a candlelight Vigil Saturday night in honor of those who lost their lives.
Three people were killed, ten others were injured, and multiple homes were destroyed after a tornado struck southern Brunswick County late at night on February 15.
On the three month anniversary of the tragic event, around one hundred people gathered at the Tiger’s Eye Golf Links clubhouse to remember the beloved community members who died during the tornado: Barry Glick, Rich O’Connor and Phyllis O’Connor.

WILMINGTON – Just after 2 a.m. Tuesday, Krystal Clemmons logged onto Facebook to amend a post she had written hours earlier ahead of the possibility of bad weather in Brunswick County.
Initially, she and her husband, David, had offered storm preparation services to anyone who wanted to get ahead of the potentially severe weather through their Supply-based business, A+ Trees and Landscaping.
But after she got the call from her brother-in-law’s house that a tornado had clipped his home on Old Shallotte Road, she changed her post to offer any disaster or tree removal services to those impacted free of charge.
