A supercell thunderstorm moved from extreme western Hanover county through southern Caroline county Wednesday night. A persistent circulation indicated by doppler radar prompted tornado warnings as the storm moved between Ashland and Doswell, very close to Kings Dominion. A CBS 6 viewer known only by "Kevin" snapped the above photo as the storm moved by. The photo was taken facing north, and the storm was moving from left to right (west to east). As you can see from the picture, the wall coud extended very low to the ground, and on Doppler Max 6, there was a well-organized mesocyclone evident. We are fortunate this one didn't produce a tornado.
