EF1 tornado in Charlotte County, Virginia

A National Weather Service survey team inspected storm damage along the western end of Green View Road approximately 1.6 miles south southwest of Chandlers Fork and 3.8 miles north of Randolph. The team concluded that the damage was from an EF-1 tornado with maximum wind gusts around 95 mph. The tornado briefly touched down and primarily affected one private residence along Green View Road. Significant roof damage along with glass doors and windows were broken on the home. A few trees and power lines were also damaged along Green View Road before the tornado lifted.

A strong cold front, in advance of a slow moving upper level low pressure system, brought multiple rounds of severe storms to southwest Virginia. With increasing instability and high low level shear, these storms produced damaging winds, hail and two tornadoes. While most of the severe weather occurred during the morning hours of the 27th, a second round of storms produced damaging winds during the afternoon.
