STANLEY, Va. - The National Weather Service said Thursday that a tornado did indeed cause the damage that was left behind in a round of nasty storms that pummeled parts of Page County, Virginia on Wednesday.
The tornado, which was an EF 1 tornado according to the National Weather Service, touched down around 6:45 p.m. in the community of Stanley, Virginia. That's located in Page County.
