All,
Please note the Tornado WARNING expired as of 1pm and the Tornado WATCH extended to 4pm.
The WARNING was based on radar not observations; there is no evidence or reports of actual tornado touchdowns. The only storm-related calls into the 911 center involves flooding at the 7900 block of Shore Dr, Oklahoma Ave and Shirley Ave. Power outages are minimal with only 13 out of 97,053 Dominion customers impacted as of 1:20pm.
If anyone in the community experienced damages, they are encouraged to document the impacts and contact their insurance company. The Norfolk Cares Call Center is available to receive any reports and otherwise answer questions at 664-6510. For emergencies, call 911!
For city staff, please report any damage to Lori Crouch.
Team Norfolk partner agencies, please report any damages to the Norfolk EOC so we may provide a comprehensive report to the Virginia EOC.
Again, while the Tornado Warning has been cleared, the Tornado Watch is still active which means conditions exist for tornado activity: vigilance is key.
The latest hourly graph is provided below for your review. Wind gusts in the upper 30mph range can be expected into the evening, and then gusts in the lower to mid 30's throughout the night and into tomorrow (Friday). Chance of rain drops significantly at 2pm and temperatures cool overnight with a low of 48 by 6am in the morning. Certainly more pleasant conditions than received around 1pm!
Please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you!
Jim
Director, Norfolk EOC
