| Episode Narrative | A very strong pressure gradient developed as a vigorous area of low pressure moved northeast from the North Carolina coast to off the Long Island coast developing into a nor'easter and high pressure progressed into the area from the midwest. Trees and power lines were knocked down as a result of the strong winds which were common across the region. There was also some minor damage to some structures. Most areas experienced wind gusts between 50 and 60 mph...with isolated wind gusts approaching 70 mph. |
| Event Narrative | Trees were blown down countywide. Some of these trees downed powerlines in the process. At one point, 6000 electric customers in Henry County were without power. In the town of Ridgeway, a tree fell onto a house causing damage. In Martinsville, the wind blew part of the roof off a business. |
