NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and WeatherStormy Saturday Across Central Virginia

Fast-moving severe storms rolled through central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley on Saturday. The national Weather Service even confirmed Saturday's storms spun off a tornado in Augusta County.

Communities from Stuarts Draft to Charlottesville are cleaning up the damage from these storms. High winds and heavy rain have caused some significant damage across central Virginia and the valley.

The EF-1 twister touched down just south of Stuarts Draft and traveled for four miles with winds reaching 95 miles per hour. Witnesses spotted the funnel cloud and day that the powerful winds came without much warning.

In Stuarts Draft, the storm destroyed a barn on Indian Ridge Road and the power was shut off in the Cranberry Hills neighborhood. Gusts there took down trees, tore off house siding and destroyed a number of sheds. By late Saturday night, the wind advisory was still in effect.

In Albemarle County, one greenhouse is working to clean up the mess today's storms left behind. The Eltzroth and Thompson Greenhouse is just south of Charlottesville on Route 29. Due to some high winds, a tree uprooted and slammed onto the back of their greenhouse.

Two customers were in the store at the time and no one was injured, but the owner estimates it caused at least $30,000 in damages because it destroyed the heating and air conditioning systems.

Sara Andrew said, "it was almost like in slow motion and it took me a minute to process what happened, and it was just a really loud cracking sound, and when I heard the plastic rip I knew it wasn't hail."

In Waynesboro, more high winds caused the front of a vacant building on Ohio Street to completely collapse. Police taped off the area and there are no injuries reported there.

In Fishersville, eyewitnesses report seeing what appeared to be a funnel cloud touch down near Augusta Expoland around 2:20 this afternoon, destroying an office trailer – no injuries have been reported.
