Doppler indicated and apparently no ground obs. Everyone I've chased with up there isn't around so I can't add anything. There has been nothing on skywarn net that's made it down to the Roanoke repeater (unusual if there is confirmation), so I don't know.

SVR rolling though Eastern MD again now. The folks over in LaPlata, MD must think they are snakebit:

No, Joshua. LaPlata did not have another tornado. There was a warning but wind damage was from SVR, not TOR.
