The wider storm

Abnormally warm temperatures contributed to another round of afternoon thunderstorms on June 17th. Numerous trees were blown down across the central portions of West Virginia from strong wind gusts in the early afternoon, followed by more trees down in the southeastern portions of the state a few hours later. The most significant damage caused by these storms was a roof being blown off of a home in Lincoln County. Heavy downpours and antecedent wet ground conditions also resulted in one instance of flash flooding along sections of Route 129 and 39 in the town of Poe.

Began near Hillsboro (38.1400, -80.2100).
