1. Mom is just across the line in North Carolina.

I will need to keep an eye on the area just in case. I hope you are battened down if you are under this, Yonnie3!

[Yonnie3]

3. One cell leaving here now

Some dime sized hail, lots of pea sized hail, gusts around 45. Rain heavy, but not torrential.

Watched the wind blow water up the hill in the center of the street while the gutters were rushing downhill. Lights flickered but the clocks aren't even blinking.

Not a really severe storm, but not sure if more will come. Some popcorn storms on the radar to the west.

I am in southeastern Charlottesville.

4. My band used to play there in the early 90s.

It was always a blast as we toured through the area. We would hit both Charlottesville and Blacksburg in that arc. Always had fun in both places.

(Now, Roanoke... that is another story...)

Mom is in the Tidewater area, so they got what you were getting. She never said much after that so I assume that it was not so bad.

[Yonnie3]

6. My family has been involved in the music scene in the area since the mid 80s

Perhaps we did sound for you.

2. Yup, it's happening right now.

[Yonnie3]

5. How did you do in the storm?

If I recall correctly, you are a bit west of the city.

I hope to be back out in the country NNE of town after Labor Day.

[Martin68]

7. We did fine. It was a heavy rain but no hail, and we didn't lose power.
