The wider storm

In the late morning and early afternoon of May 23rd, severe thunderstorms impacted areas of southwest Virginia mainly just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hail sizes ranged up to golf ball size, and some wind gusts were strong enough to down some trees. Also given the slow movement and backbuilding nature of the storms, one storm over Henry Co. resulted in the flooding of the Jones Creek and also numerous streets in Martinsville.

Began near Radford (37.1333, -80.4167).
