Could be a tornado spinning up on that bowing segment of the line just SE of Denton, I think we got a poster from there, Asheboro area about to get rocked that rotation is pretty tight ATM....

had this in other thread that area looks less organized the last few scans but still a nasty bowing segment hitting Asheboro.

Report from a friend driving 1 mile south of the confirmed location (Mcleansville) along I-85 10 minutes ago of power being out for that area, some wind damage, and a whole lotta rain.

Before it went by I directed them to get off of the interstate and they are taking shelter in a business that's lost power right now until the worst of the line moves through.

The rotation signature has been there from Greensboro to Ruffin. As mentioned before, the tornado debris signature was probably there in Greensboro (and there was a reported tornado) and Brightwood. Not sure about any other tornado debris signature along the path.

There was a clear TDS on it in NE Greensboro....it faded as it got just east of Reidsville.

DISCUSSION...The convective line moving across western VA and
   central NC has gradually been increasing in forward speeds and
   severe thunderstorm warnings now extend to the eastern edge of WW
   53. The northern extent of the severe potential is constrained by
   the wedge front draped from the eastern WV Panhandle across central
   VA and across the far southern Delmarva Peninsula. Even with this
   constraint, some severe potential exists across central VA for the
   next few hours with the approaching convective line. This line has
   produced tornadoes in the past and the overall environment remains
   supportive of embedded circulations, prompting the issuance of
   Tornado Watch 54 in central VA.

   Farther south, a local extension in area will occur soon into (per
   coordination with WFO RAH) across parts of central NC as the
   convective line continues to progress quickly northeastward.
