CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A live camera in south Charlotte captured strong winds uprooting a large tree in the Cameron Wood neighborhood late Thursday morning.

Residents in the area are now attempting to remove several downed trees and branches following the large storm.

WCNC Charlotte spoke to a resident who said he made it inside the neighborhood about 10 minutes before more trees started falling.

"I'm not one for hyperboles, but it's countless," the resident said about the trees on the ground.
