HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Parts of Henrico’s West End saw significant storm damage as powerful winds toppled trees across several neighborhoods on Friday evening.
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was in effect for Richmond as well as parts of Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield, Goochland and Powhatan counties through 8:30 p.m.
Most of the reported damage was in Tuckahoe. Mary Charlotte, who lives on Sweet Briar Road, said the storm hit suddenly around 7:30 p.m. while her family was eating dinner.
“First it was sort of heavy rain, and then it was this really intense wind shear almost, and intense hail, intense rain, out of nowhere,” Charlotte said. “I would say the intense part lasted maybe 10 to 15 minutes.”…
