Tornado warning expires for Nelson County
Tornado warning (WSLS 10)
The National Weather Service has canceled a tornado warning for Nelson County.
At 6:06 p.m., a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located over Stonewall, or over Concord, moving northeast at 30 mph.
If you live in areas affected by a tornado warning, take cover! NWS says to move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.
As a reminder, a tornado watch means that forecasted conditions favor tornado development, more urgent than that, is a tornado warning, which means that a tornado is happening or is expected soon.
