RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - It was a stormy Friday evening across central Virginia, and at least one tornado was confirmed after a storm damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service on Saturday.

It’s estimated the tornado had maximum winds of 85 mph. It traveled 10 miles from 6:22 to 6:47pm, but the path was discontinuous (the tornado lifted several times on its path and was not on the ground for this entire time).
