Gov. Roy Cooper signed a State Disaster Declaration for Wentworth in Rockingham County after a tornado struck earlier this year. According to WGHP the declaration will provide funding for approximately $131,000 in debris removal costs that the town incurred while cleaning up after the storm. The EF-1 tornado touched down in a wooded area southwest of Sunset View Road and moved northeast, before lifting near the intersection of Crutchfield Road and U.S. Highway 29.
