    McDOWELL COUNTY, N.C. -- A mudslide forced both directions of I-40 to shut down in McDowell County Tuesday night, reports First Warn Storm Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich.

    Panovich said the mudslide happened near Mile Marker 67, trapping people and cars near the area.

    The North Carolina Department of Transportation said drivers should seek an alternate route until the road reopens -- possibly by 7 a.m.
