Severe storms bring damage, possible tornadoes in Fairfax County [View all]

There may have been brief tornado touchdowns near Centreville and in Tysons.

An evening of strong to severe thunderstorms and inclement weather ended with multiple tornado warnings that affected Fairfax County, southern Montgomery County and the northern part of the District.

Preliminary radar data, damage reports and public observations indicate there may have been brief tornado touchdowns near Centreville and Tysons Corner.

However, confirmation of the tornadoes awaits damage surveys from the National Weather Service forecast office in Sterling, which typically are conducted the day after the storm.

The storm system responsible for the potential twisters is the same one that unleashed dozens of tornadoes across the South on Wednesday and into Thursday morning, resulting in numerous injuries and at least two fatalities.
