Today marks the 23rd anniversary of an F-3 tornado that hit Cumberland County in 1995. The tornado began near Newton, crossed over Taylor’s Chapel and Lantana roads to the Lake Tansi area. Officials say 20 people were injured from the tornado. Two business were destroyed. Eleven homes and 14 mobiles homes were destroyed and 30 were damaged. One house suffered a gas leak, prompting emergency-management officials to evacuate a handful of nearby residents. Other homes had roof damage. Numerous trees and power lines were knocked down. A smaller F-1 tornado also struck Cumberland County that day, but the damage from that twister was not as extensive as the F-3.
