Effects were felt most in Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, and Earlysville, where several large limbs, trees, and wires fell.In Charlottesville, the bell tower of Buck Mountain Church was destroyed, and a nearby fallen tree broke a window and caused minor roof damage. Farther north, in and near Earlysville, several trees and large limbs fell, most onto power lines and some blocking local routes 743 and 660. At nearby Charlottesville/Albemarle Co Airport, winds were measured at 58 mph.In Harrisonburg (Rockingham Co), several trees were snapped and a few uprooted, including an 80 foot tall walnut tree. An outbuilding's roof was tossed into a moving vehicle, causing minor damage to the car but no injury to the driver. Hail driven by the winds shattered a window at a downtown accounting firm. Lightning struck the roof of a county public library, rupturing it slightly. Water leakage caused minor damage to books inside. Hundreds of residents were without power during the storm.
