Additionally, out of an abundance of caution, both Craig County Schools and Alleghany Highlands Schools started two hours late on Friday as a result of potential road debris and high winds.

AHS said 12-month employees, excluding custodial and maintenance workers, arrived two hours late as well. The senior government trip has been postponed, school leaders said.

Roanoke County Schools also made an announcement saying that buses may be delayed or unable to reach students in the southwest area of the county due to downed trees and power lines.

Some of those affected neighborhoods include:

  • Whistler
  • Mt. Chestnut
  • Woodbrook Road
  • Grandin Rd. Extension
  • Sugarloaf Farms
  • Keagy Road
