Event narrative

The National Weather Service in Wakefield has surveyed the storm damage in far eastern Louisa County and western Hanover County, and found it consistent with damage from a high-end EF0 tornado with peak winds of 85 mph. The tornado touched down at a farm off of Crewsville Road in Eastern Louisa County, damaging multiple trees and destroying a chicken coup. It should be noted that many of the trees here were already in poor shape or damaged from a winter storm earlier in the year. The tornado then tracked from Louisa county into Hanover county.
