Parts of Roanoke, Blacksburg, other areas hammered by hailPosted Jun22, 2008 at 06:44 PM
This photo from Jesica Clements shows a jagged, roughly quarter-sized hailstone that fell near Wasena Park in Roanoke Another storm about 8:30 p.m. at Blacksburg produced large hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter. The storm exhibited some weak rotation on radar as it moved through Giles and Montgomery counties, but then became dominated by outflow winds and weakened as it moved toward the Roanoke Valley and points eastward.

Other JohnWe had a pretty strong storm blow through early this afternoon that dropped hail 3 different times during it. We also got extremely heavy rain and lightning. Had the hail all come at once, it likely would have coated the ground. It was mostly pea sized though, so thankfully no damage.

Brandon R.Power just went out in the Stoneledge area right on the Roanoke/Botetourt county line.
