National Weather Service's Top 5 events of 2006Posted Dec30, 2006 at 05:24 PMI picked my Top 10 area weather events of 2006 today. At the same time, the National Weather Service was picking its Top 5 events, and our top two match. The weather service's picks for No. 3 and No. 4, the Bull Mountain fire and Pittsylvania County tornadoes, occurred outside The Roanoke Times' readership area, so I didn't include those. The National Weather Service at Blacksburg covers not only much of Southwest and Southside Virginia, but also parts of southeast West Virgnia and northwest North Carolina. I also did not include the weather service's No. 5, April 7 severe weather, but you could argue I should have with damage and and an injury at Buchanan. |
