As of late Friday, rain production did not live up to the sky’s dark threat.
The Weather Service office in Wakefield, Va., indicated on Twitter that a tornado indeed had been confirmed in the vicinity of Hanover and Caroline counties, about 80 miles south of Washington. Details were not immediately available.
Under the lash of thunderstorm winds, trees toppled onto streets and roofs in many parts of the area. It sometimes seemed as if thickets of foliage had erupted from wet pavement. Friday’s daytime clouds sometimes seemed so swollen as to be hauling huge Niagaras of rain. But by 9 p.m., although the night was not over, the amount measured in Washington seemed a surprisingly small 0.15 inch.
Citing “very severe weather” predicted for Friday night, the Washington Nationals baseball team postponed the night’s scheduled game until Saturday.
