Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
432 PM EDT FRI SEP 17 2004
UPDATE: FORECASTS WILL BE A LITTLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS SPC WILL
BE ISSUING A NEW WATCH OVER PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA (REPLACING
#832 WHICH WAS TO EXPIRE AT 5 PM).
&&
HURLEY
------------------------------------------------------------------
WILL MAKE THIS REAL BRIEF GIVEN THE ACTIVE WEATHER ACROSS THE
REGION. CURRENTLY DEALING WITH 2 TORNADO WATCHES...THROUGH 5 PM OVER
THE SWRN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA AND THROUGH 8 PM OVER THE REST
OF VA AND NC (EXCEPT THE MD/VA LOWER ERN SHORE).
THUS FAR IVANS REMNANTS ARE QUITE REMINISCENT TO FRANCES...AT
LEAST THE EFFECTS ON OUR FORECAST AREA. MID LEVEL DRY SLOTTING AHEAD
OF THE MAIN S-N SPIRAL BANDS HAS NOT ONLY ALLOWED FOR SOME PARTIAL
SUNSHINE THIS AFTN (AND THUS INCREASED INSBY...AS TEMPS CLIMBED
INTO THE MID 80S). STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...UP TO 40KTS AT 850 MB...
IS ALLOWING FOR STRONG MOISTURE/THETA-E CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE
SURFACE TROUGH. AGAIN THIS IS MUCH LIKE CONDITIONS AHEAD OF
FRANCES. JUST AHEAD OF THESE BANDS DWPTS ARE PEAKING INTO THE MID
70S...WITH A FEW UPPER 70S...ONLY ENHANCING THE INSTBY/UPDRAFT
STRENGTH AT LOW LEVELS. COMBINATION OF INSTBY AND HIGH DEGREE OF LOW
LEVEL SHEAR (0-1KM BULK SHEAR BTWN 25 AND 30 KT) WILL CONTINUE TO
MAKE FOR AN INCREASED RISK FOR ROTATING CELLS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AFTER SUNSET...THREAT SHOULD WEAKEN WITH
THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
AS FOR THE FLOOD WATCH...GIVEN THE LATEST MODEL TRENDS (BOTH GFS AND
ETA IN THE SHORT TERM)...NOW EXPECT THE FLOOD THREAT TO BE MORE
ISOLATED (I.E. ASSOCIATED ALONG THESE SPIRAL BANDS THIS EVENING).
HOWEVER...WHILE NARROW...THESE SPIRAL BANDS ARE MOVING VERY SLOWLY
TO THE EAST...WHILE CELLS ALONG THE LINE MOVE MORE OR LESS SOUTH TO
NORTH. WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCH IN ALL AREAS...THOUGH HAVE IT
RUN ONLY THROUGH SAT (INSTEAD OF SUN MORNING).
STILL CONCERNED OF THE POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAIN ON SAT...AS IVANS
REMNANT LOW CENTER MOVES TO THE VA/NC BORDER COAST. THE S TO SE
TRAJECTORIES AHEAD OF THE LOW AT THIS POINT WILL ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO
DRAW IN MORE ATLANTIC/GULF STREAM MOISTURE. THIS ALONG WITH THE MUCH-
AWAITED UPPER LEVEL DEFORMATION/FRONTOGENETIC SUPPORT AS THE NRN
STREAM JET PRESSES DOWN ON THE UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION. SO BY THIS
TIME...THE SYSTEM IS MORE REMINISCENT OF A COASTAL LOW DURING THE
COOL SEASON (I.E. A MORE WIDESPREAD...STEADY RAIN BANDS). HOWEVER...
HAVE DECIDED TO LINGER THE FLOOD WATCH THROUGH THE ENTIRE REGION ON
SAT GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE...EVEN
AS IVAN BECOMES EXTRATROPICAL (MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW PRECIPITABLE
WATER INDICES REMAINING AROUND 2 THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY AFTN).
