NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The National Weather Service has confirmed that two weak tornadoes touched down in Virginia Beach and Norfolk from Hurricane Arthur’s rain bands.

A twister blew a tree onto a roof in Virginia Beach and another tornado toppled and uprooted trees at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Norfolk.
