A state of emergency has been declared and a curfew set from now until 7 a.m. Sunday after what is believed to be a tornado slammed Roanoke Rapids, especially in the Tenth Street and Park Avenue areas this evening.
It was simply to be there for John Taylor and on a blustery, dreary morning 117 runners participated in the run named in his honor.
