Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.

09What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 21, 2:04 PM EDT, 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 2:04 PM EDT, 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston WV 204 PM EDT TUE JUN 21 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front crosses late Today and Tonight, only to return as a warm front Wednesday. Another cold front crosses late Thursday and Thursday night. High pressure passes Friday through Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Cold front is near the Ohio Valley as of 130 pm and upper trough is starting to drop over the region. Strong 0-6 km shear with CAPE values in the 2000 J/KG has made the environment ripe for severe thunderstorm development. Discrete supercells with robust rotating updrafts will likely produce large hail, severe winds and possibly a tornado or two. A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for the entire Southern Half of the forecast. Activity will start to wind down by this evening with clearing skies overnight. Winds will go lightly variable overnight and anywhere precipitation has occurred will be likely to see fog during the early morning hours. A warm front will start to move northward across the region tomorrow...thunderstorm activity is possible along this front and have chance pops forecasted through the day. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Busy short term forecast on tap, with multiple rounds of convection expected. Models in decent agreement with surface low moving through the Great Plains and into the western Great Lakes Wednesday into Wednesday night. This should drive a warm front north through the forecast area, with strong theta-e advection providing instability. Initially have high chance POPs lifting across southern 2/3 of CWA, however then ramp up to likely across the north Wednesday night at low level jet kicks in. Anticipate an MCS tracking north of the CWA overnight, closer to the warm front, but boundaries from that should serve as a focus for thunderstorms across northern CWA. Add to that 40-50kts of bulk shear and strong to severe thunderstorms are possible through the night. Damaging winds would be the most likely threat. With the fast flow, storms should be moving, but with PWAT values climbing over 2 inches downpours are likely and multiple rounds could cause water concerns. Will have to see how the micro- and meso- scale details work out over the next several model runs. Tried to show a break between the Wednesday night convection and a new round that will be associated with a cold front moving through Thursday into Thursday night. However, with such a humid airmass in place, only felt comfortable dropping POPs into the 20s and 30s across the south before ramping back up ahead of the front. Just how much instability the front has to work with Thursday as it moves in depends on how quickly activity Wednesday night moves out. Regardless, 35-45 kts shear and some dynamics along the front should once again lead to the potential for some strong to severe thunderstorms... with damaging winds being the largest threat. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... This weekend is dominated by an east to west upper ridge across the southern half of the nation this weekend...of which we will be under its influence. This will keep us drier but very warm this weekend...with highs around 90 degrees. The northern stream then amplifies just enough over the eastern U.S. early next week to drive a cold front south and east into our area. The models generally agree the showers and storms ahead of the front will reach us Monday...but there are some differences in timing of the front into our area and whether the front with the showers and storms actually push through by end of period. Given the developing northwest flow aloft over the Ohio Valley...will go with a slow but progressive solution...supported by the newer GFS runs this morning. Thus...a good chance of showers and storms Monday and Monday night...tapering off from northwest to southeast Tuesday as the front pushes through. With clouds and showers preceding the front Monday...it will be humid again...but temperatures will be a little cooler with highs in the 80s. On Tuesday...look for slightly cooler temperatures and some drier air feeding in from the northwest during the day. Cooler and drier Tuesday night as high pressure tries to build in. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... A cold front crossing Today will bring showers and severe thunderstorms. IFR conditions will be possible in these storms as well as large hail and strong winds. TAFs will be amended accordingly to account for this. MVFR to IFR conditions may also be possible overnight in fog as winds go light and skies clear. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE...Medium to high. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of lower categories in showers and thunderstorms today will vary, as may formation of fog late tonight. EXPERIMENTAL TABLE OF FLIGHT CATEGORY OBJECTIVELY SHOWS CONSISTENCY OF WFO FORECAST TO AVAILABLE MODEL INFORMATION: H = HIGH: TAF CONSISTENT WITH ALL MODELS OR ALL BUT ONE MODEL.
