A SEVERE DAY, Not as bad for me

Severe weather broke out in SW VA as a low developed in NC . There were numorous reports of hail and wind damage as well as flash floodinfg but most happened just south of us in the NRV(new River Valley) we had one interesting storm but just under severe limits with 45 mph win gusts and torrental rain of an inch an hour totaling in 1.34 inches for the day

It was my moms bithday so we i spent most of my time with her and stayed at home to see what would hit us....
