Numerous trees and power lines were downed by thunderstorm winds, with most of the damage in the southern portion of the county. Near Healing Springs, one tree fell onto a truck, and in the Cedar Creek area a tree fell onto a different vehicle.

The wider storm

A persistent hot and moist air mass allowed for high levels of instability in southwest Virginia. A cold front moving southeast through the region interacted with this unstable air mass and formed numerous severe thunderstorms which produced damaging winds.
