A massive fire at Lake Gaston sparked by fireworks destroyed a home and lit up the sky for miles, according to officials. Heat will be intense today with a high near 97°F under overcast skies, and damaging thunderstorms with winds gusting up to 40 mph are expected early Sunday evening in Macon County. If you're planning outdoor activities, enjoy the rest of today but stay weather-aware heading into the weekend.
