HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) — A tornado warning that had been in effect for Virginia Beach and Chesapeake early Friday morning has expired, as a fast-moving storm made its way through Hampton Roads.
There have been no immediate reports of any damages, but just under 5,300 Dominion Energy customers were without power around 1:45 a.m.
In Virginia Beach, the majority of those without power were in an area between Indian River Road, Indian Lakes Boulevard and Ferrell Parkway. All Dominion customers have had their power restored at this time.
Along an area that touches parts of northern Suffolk and Portsmouth, there were more than 1,400 people without power.
The National Weather Service issued the tornado warning at 12:48 a.m., indicating that a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located near Kempsville, in Virginia Beach, moving northeast at 25 mph.
All warnings have since expired, and the tornado threat from the storm that had been moving through northern Virginia Beach had diminished, according to Super Doppler 10 Meteorologist Ricky Matthews.
Super Doppler 10 Chief Meteorologist Jeff Edmondson was live with updates as the storm moved through the area. Watch in the video player above.
One WAVY 10 viewer sent a photo of a downed tree following the storm in the Chicks Beach area of Virginia Beach.
