Cant find any damage reports for Oxford so I guess it was just radar indicated. Whatever it was looked to cross I85 between Oxford and Butner.

I don't live in Roxboro no more. But I still keep up through FB. Alot of lightning and dime to quarter size hail. From South Boston around Alton Va to Roxboro to Allensville.

I see why the storms are approaching from the north. There is a backdoor cf and Lee side Trough

Watch from Ne GA to Charlotte fill in the next couple hours. Already happening now via. They hard to predict but when you get storms traveling south from VA to NC in a backdoor position they get violent over the Piedmont

Per Skype convo with NWS Blacksburg big warning will be canceled for all the counties that were included. Storms have weakened below severe limits with some lee side skipping involved. Radar did not support severe criteria even in southern VA.

 

...

the storms which prompted the warning have weakened below severe
limits... and no longer pose an immediate threat to life or property.
Therefore the warning will be allowed to expire. However gusty winds
and heavy rain are still possible with these thunderstorms.
