11-month-old boy dies after severe weather in North Carolina

An 11-month-old North Carolina boy died Sunday from injuries that he suffered when weather and tornadoes tore through the state on Friday, his family says. Gavin Soto’s family in Edenton told WAVY that the child was set to turn 1 year old on May 1.

 

On Sunday, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory visited Soto’s house – which he said “fell on top of the family” during the severe weather.



Residents, meteorologists and emergency officials in eastern North Carolina also were surveying the damage Saturday from multiple tornadoes that damaged more than 200 homes the previous day and sent more than a dozen other people to the emergency room. Meteorologists said Saturday that tornadoes with winds of more than 111 mph touched down in Pitt and Beaufort counties on Friday, and they were continuing to investigate storm damage.
