STANLEY, Va. (WHSV) - It’s an old myth to think that tornadoes don’t happen in the mountains because they do. We have a long history of tornadoes in the Shenandoah Valley. One particular tornado from Stanley in 1925 created extensive damage yet many, have never heard about this tornado before. Thanks to incredibly detailed newspaper reports, Chief Meteorologist Aubrey Urbanowicz was able to recreate the likely path of the tornado. For a list of families and property affected, scroll down.

McGaheysville, Va. (WHSV) - While tornadoes do happen in our area, it’s much more rare for two to touch down on the same day, let alone in the morning. Tornadoes can happen at any time of the day but they are more likely to touch down in the afternoon or evening during the peak of instability and daytime heating. With these tornadoes in April of 1952, this would have been two different storm cells. *Chief Meteorologist Aubrey Urbanowicz is still looking for help with some details.

(WHSV) - A strong solar storm is expected to impact the Earth with the potential for Aurora viewing in the Mid-Atlantic. The problem is we’re going to have a lot of cloud cover this week. Now solar storms can be extremely difficult to forecast and pinpoint but if it impacts Earth at the right time and it’s a G3 strength or stronger, then the aurora or northern lights could be viewable for Monday night locally. There will be some variability with the expected times.

Radar picking up on migrating birds tonight as the storms are winding down https://t.co/OTauVcANtW
Storms are slowly weakening but there's still heavy rain. Check Rt. 33 and Rt. 211 before heading east in the AM There has been some flooding in Shenandoah Co, and Page. Two of the areas hit the hardest tonight. That south part should start to make it into Augusta but it's slow https://t.co/NpT7Zad65r
Storms still coming in tonight- less coverage Thursday. We still have heavy rain that can lead to additional flooding. Most is north of Rt. 33 but a second line is growing along Skyline/Blue Ridge. It will be a few more hours before they really die down https://t.co/fCzVvfpSDz
