The mobile home was vacant and there were no injuries.<\/li>\n<li>11:31 PM &#8211; NWS is reporting a tornado on their radar around Redoak.<\/li>\n<li>11:40 PM &#8211; Road flooding reported in Halifax County &#8211; Berry Hill Rd.<\/li>\n<li>11:50 PM &#8211; Flash Flood Warning for Danville, southeastern Pittsylvania County, southern Halifax County and Caswell (NC) County. This includes the towns of South Boston &amp; Halifax.<\/li>\n<li>12:11 AM &#8211; Rainfall amounts are still coming in and being compiled by the hydrology computers &amp; experts but as of now, the forecast crest is at 27.5 feet which would close off Riverdale yet again. This number is highly subject to change.<\/li>\n<li>12:21 AM &#8211; The mobile home damage in Alton has NOT been confirmed as being caused by a tornado as of now. It&#8217;s impossible to confirm or refute that in the dark with it still raining.<\/li>\n<li>1:15 AM &#8211; Person County (NC) officials are reporting tress down and power out in the Moriah area, 12 miles southeast of Roxboro. According to the report, the public reported hearing a &#8220;roaring&#8221; sound.<\/li>\n<li>1:30 AM &#8211; Pittsylvania County reporting that Kentuck Rd. (Rt. 732) and Rocksprings Rd. impassable due to flooding. Halifax County reporting North Fork Church Road and 6 other roads are closed due to flooding.<\/li>\n<li>5:42 PM &#8211; National Weather Service confirms that the Alton damage was caused by a EF-0 with an estimated wind speed of 75 MPH. The maximum width of the tornado was 100 yards and the tornado was on the ground for 1\/4 mile. Here&#8217;s their breakdown&#8230;<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>The national weather service in Blacksburg VA has confirmed a tornado near Alton in Halifax County Virginia on 03\/28\/10.<\/p>\n<p>Based on a survey by the emergency manager of Halifax County&#8230;which included a detailed map and many photos sent to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg&#8230;we have determined that minor damage just off of Blane Road between Alton and Turbeville&#8230;was caused by a brief and weak tornado during the late evening of March 28. <\/p>\n<p>Several old farm buildings and out buildings had minor roof and siding damage&#8230;and at least one large cedar tree was snapped off a few feet above the ground. Damage was scattered in this short one quarter mile path length&#8230;and much of the debris was blown in the direction of the storm movement&#8230;toward the east-northeast. However&#8230;a piece of roofing was carried from the south east side of a building across the path and dropped to the northwest side of the building&#8230;suggesting some convergence flow within the overall path. The damage was consistent with a weak tornado&#8230;EF0 intensity&#8230;with winds of 65 to 85 MPH.<\/p>\n<p>Much appreciation to Kirby Saunders of Halifax County for a very thorough survey of the property impacted&#8230;and for the many photographs.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATED to give the National Weather Service&#8217;s findings on the Alton storm damage.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re in contact with lots of sources tonight, and we&#8217;ll be putting information that we get into this article.
