Thunderstorms fired in advance of an approaching cold front.  Some of these reached severe criteria and produced damaging wind gusts between roughly 60 and 80 mph.  The most common form of damage was downed trees and powerlines.  There was one area that reported structural damage.  Near Smith Mountain Lake northeast of Burnt Chimney there was structural damage to decks, roofs, a chimney and two cars.  There was also a couple of reports of hail the size of pennies to nickels with the thunderstorms.  One storm also helped to produce flash flooding in the town of Cana in Carroll County when high rushing waters blocked the portion of Airport Church Road at U.S. 52 and Wards Gap.
