Several area counties received storm damage late Sunday afternoon this on the Memorial Day weekend as severe weather moved through
In Glasgow people at a campground near James River Road and Recreation Lane were temporarily trapped as trees fell from the very high winds. “While working on scene, Chief 2 was notified by staff that a second tree had fallen on a cabin with occupants still inside. Units made their way to the cabin and were able to clear the entrance and assist the occupants out.” Glasgow VFD said in a Facebook post.

In Nelson County a man was killed after seeking shelter from the storm in his car at the Wingina boat ramp. Winds caused a nearby tree limb to fall onto his car killing him.
At one point the storms caused widespread power outages on the CVEC system as well.
There’s the chance for more severe weather late Monday afternoon and evening as an approaching cold front may trigger storms as it passes through.
