Today, Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) issued the following remarks after tornadoes in Rutherford, Burke, and Caldwell Counties caused property damage and injured a number of residents:

"First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by last night's devastating storms.  My office has been in contact overnight and this morning with both FEMA and the NC Division of Emergency Management.  We'll continue to work with the appropriate agencies to facilitate aid programs and help folks rebuild and recover."
