LYNCHBURG, Va. – 10 News’ Connor Dietrich was out in the Hill City to get a look at some of the storm damage on Thursday evening.
Roads like McConville Road were closed due to flooding in some areas, as you can see below.
A downed tree crushed a parked car on Thursday evening, partially blocking the roadway.
10 News talked with a neighbor who says the car below is his son’s. The neighbor told us lightning struck the tree, which you can see in the main video above.
Jacari Alexander, the car owner, was not inside the car when the incident happened.
“Why did it have to be me and why did it have to fall right there? On top of my car?”
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
A man with Garcia’s Tree Services said the plan was to head out Friday morning to remove the tree on the car. Once the tree was removed, it revealed even more damage.
10 News also received reports of hail from the area earlier in the day. Chris Manley sent a video our way to give us a look into the storms rolling through around 4:30 p.m.
The Weather Authority Alert issued for July 13 has since been lifted. You can still read the article and see previous updates here.
