episode_narrativeA thunderstorm that moved through Nelson County during the afternoon of the 14th produced large hail, frequent lightning, and brief heavy rain around the Lovingston area. Two separate lightning strikes started fires in the northwest part of the county. The first strike hit a vacant house about 3 miles southwest of Lovingston on Virginia Route 652 near Freshwater Cove. The fire that resulted burnt the home to the ground. As firefighters arrived to battle the blaze they were confronted by 10 to 15 minutes of hail, and officials reported crop damage and dented automobiles from the deluge. The second lightning strike hit an old barn one mile southwest of Lovingston near Thompson's Store. The barn caught fire and was significantly damaged. Lightning also caused power outages in the communities of Nellysford, Roseland, and Piney River, in addition to the immediate Lovingston area. Heavy downpours with the storm were also blamed for a two vehicle accident near the intersection of Highway 29 and Main Street in Lovingston.
