Wild Weather Yesterday!
July 13th, 2009 at 12:17 am by Cheryl Nelson under Weather
What an intense weather day! The lift from a frontal boundary combined with some energy from the sun and a wave of low pressure created some nasty thunderstorms this afternoon. There were numerous reports of damage in Suffolk, Portsmouth and parts of the northern neck and northeast North Carolina. Early reports from the Emergency Manager in Suffolk say that at least 65 homes in the Berkshire Meadows subdivision have minor damage from Sunday’s storms. Gusty winds toppled trees into homes, cars and across roadways, shingles were blown off rooftops and large hail and dangerous lightning reminded us of what a severe thunderstorms is capable of. Thankfully, so far there have been no reports of injuries.

I see all the hype is in Suffolk. What about Portsmouth with multiple power lines down. Bide-A-Wee golf course was littered with trees and a funnel cloud was spotted over the fire station on Victory Blvd. It just was’nt Suffolk to get the storm.
Hello Brian,
Thanks so much for the information regarding Portsmouth. Please feel free to email your storm reports to us at weather@wavy.com anytime! We don’t know the extent of the damage until someone reports it, so thank you. You can also send any storm/damage photos to photos@wavy.com. Hope everyone is okay in Portsmouth. Thank you for your reply! Have a good afternoon.

Hi cheryl we live on greenwood drive in portsmouth and we had tree limbs from a pine tree in the upper part of our yard near our house and the tree limbs were blown half way down the yard as our yard is very large. Greenwood Drive and the surrounding area were a real mess. My windsock on my front porch was blown on top of the roof.
