VA House of Delegates: by my count, Dems have now won 50 seats, meaning Republicans have lost sole control. There are still 4-6 tight races that could put Dems over the top for outright control.

Much of the area is now under a Moderate (Level 4 of 5) Risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Widespread damaging wind gusts are likely, with potential for locally destructive winds. Tornadoes and large hail are also possible. Have a way to receive warnings!
ALT Have multiple ways to receive warnings: internet, cell phone apps, NOAA weather radio, local TV/radio, share with friends and family.
ALT Infographic: High impact severe weather threat today (Level 4 of 5). A moderate risk means long-lived widespread and intense storms. Some storms could produce locally destructive winds.
