Returning home to storms
Posted Jun19, 2007 at 11:51 PM
My wife and I rolled into town late Tuesday after a 10-day trip to the central and western U.S. (vacation this time, not storm chasing, though we did see a few storms) to find a lightning show over the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Several reports of severe weather were turned into the National Weather Service in Blacksburg today, including a tree blown across the intersection of Franklin Road and Avenham Avenue in Roanoke during the afternoon, several more trees blown down in and around Rocky Mount this evening, and numerous reports of hail and high winds from the Tazewell County area this evening.
Also: Link here for an article on a SUV hit and pinned by a tree blown down in a storm in Alleghany County.
We'll get a couple days break from storms as a weak cold front moves through overnight. The next pretty good chance of thunderstorms arrives over the weekend. Overall, we're still pretty dry, so we could use the rain.
