Tallying The Totals
We definitely needed the rain today, but some areas received too much. Worst hit was Tappahannock, where roughly 5 to 6" of rain fell this afternoon and evening! Consequently, rivers and streams are running high. I've posted a link on the right side of the blog with a map so you can track rivers in your neighborhood.
Surfers At Virginia Beach
This was sent in by Thomas Messervy - a coworker here at CBS 6. I'm not surprised to see surfers out on the beach today trying to take advantage of the waves created by Hurricane Bill. Hopefully no one was hurt!
Wind Damage In South Hill
This was taken earlier today when straight line winds ripped through a family reunion. Luckily no one was hurt!
Video From Brandermill
This was taken by our photographer Andy Peterson. You can send photos and video to me at ajustus@wtvr.com and I will post them here on the blog.
Wind Damage In Southern VA
Several trees were knocked down in Halifax County as a severe thunderstorm ripped through southern VA. These storms are headed for Central VA and will maintain their strength, so the threat for more wind damage continues.
Isolated Severe Storms Possible Today
A batch of very heavy rain is headed this way. Isolated severe thunderstorms are embedded within these showers. The strongest storms will be capable of damaging winds, so I wouldn't be surprised if a watch is issued within the next hour or two.
