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, Oct 31, 7:20 PM EDT, 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
720 PM EDT Thu Oct 31 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
An intense cold front moves across our area this afternoon and
evening followed by colder high pressure for the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
As of 640 PM EDT Thursday...
Strongest storms now lined up from west of Danville, VA to
Reidsville to Burlington, NC. Should see main line east of our
forecast area by 8-9pm, with weakening showers behind it finally
exiting before midnight. Have trimmed the western edge of
Tornado Watch 687, from the Shenandoah Valley to Roanoke to
Stuart to Danbury, NC.
Previous discussion...
Tornado watch 685 cancelled as main line of convection has moved
east. Tornado watch 687 continues til 11pm. Leading edge of
front extends from Hot Springs to Wilkesboro. Convective
elements firing up in the foothills where better CAPE exists.
Will have to watch this area for isolated tornadoes.
Previous valid discussion from early this afternoon...
Environment favorable for robust storms along a line, with
0-3km SRH of 200-350 m2/s2 and bulk shear 50-60kts. We have had
breaks in the cloud cover allowing MUCAPES to reach around 1000
J/Kg.
As this line moves east there will be gusty to damaging winds,
with potential for quick tornado spinups, especially as the line
moves east of the Blue Ridge.
Models somewhat differ on timing of the line, but am leaning
toward the Nested NAM which has it exiting our region by 01-03z
tonight. Showers will linger behind the line for an hour or two.
As soon as the line and front moves through, winds will turn
west to northwest with gusts over 40 kts expected mainly from
the foothills west to the mountains. 6 hour pressure rise is
greatest ending at 03z tonight, of 10-15mb. This along with
45-60kt jet will lead to high wind warning criteria along and
near the Blue Ridge and Alleghanys this evening, then as the low
level jet exits to the northeast, winds will start to diminish
but should stay blustery through dawn Friday.
As for flooding, given speed of movement of line, threat is
limited to ponding of water and in poor drainage areas where
leaves may clog culverts.
Temperatures will drop quickly tonight behind the front into the
30s. Too much wind for frost formation. As the colder air
arrives and upslope flow enhances, will see some snow
showers/flurries across the western slopes, where an inch or
less could accumulate on the grass.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 130 PM EDT Thursday...
Wind will continue to weaken through the day as high pressure
moves in. Skies clear in the west before lunchtime. Highs will
be in cooler in the 40s west to 50s east.
Quite chilly Friday night with frost/freeze conditions possible
east of the Blue Ridge. No headlines at this point due to busy
front end of the forecast.
Temperatures will rebound a bit on Saturday ahead of another cold front
rapidly approaching from the northwest. Moisture is limited with the
front so not much to speak of in terms of precipitation or clouds, but
expect winds to become a bit blustery again followed by a good surge of
upslope clouds for the evening and through Saturday night. Another
chilly night with frost/freeze conditions possible east of the Blue
Ridge.
Sunday will see a return to high pressure and a good amount of sun with
any lingering clouds west of the Ridge dissipating during the morning.
However, the surge of cold air behind the most recent cold front will
again take a toll and keep high temperatures on Sunday well below
normal. And if the growing season is still active east of the Ridge,
Sunday night will offer another good chance for a frost/freeze.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 315 PM EDT Thursday...
A ridge of high pressure will set up over the Mid Atlantic and should
keep dry conditions overt the region through Monday night as it exits
offshore.
Afterward, forecast confidence decreases considerably as the ECMWF
and the GFS differ on the timing and initialization of a new area of
low pressure developing somewhere near the Southeast coast. Rain
chances seem to generally creep up slowly during Tuesday and
Wednesday although rainfall amounts do not appear impressive.
However, the overall discrepancies of the synoptic picture in the
models make it difficult to give more than just low chance PoPs at
this time, but overall looks cooler than normal and dry through
Thursday.
&&
.AVIATION /23Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 710 PM EDT Thursday...
Cold front lined up from ROA-UKF, with leading edge of
showers/storms near LYH-DAN-BUY. Anticipate MVFR to at times IFR
with showers, with gradually improving conditions east of the
mountains. Upslope flow will keep ceilings MVFR to IFR at
BLF/LWB til 12-15z Friday, possibly MVFR reaching BCB at times.
West-northwest winds will be the bigger story this evening into
overnight. Gusts up to 35-45kts, possibly higher near ROA/BCB
between 00z-05z.
Cannot rule out a few snow flurries at LWB/BLF late tonight.
Everyone should be VFR after 15-16z Friday with winds starting
to weaken.
Confidence is high on timing of winds with medium confidence on
ceilings in the west overnight into Friday morning.
.Extended Aviation Discussion...
High pressure is expected to provide mainly VFR weather through
the weekend. A secondary, dry front, will cross the area
Saturday night. The biggest by-product from this feature will be
enhanced winds across the ridges and some low MVFR cloudiness
in the WV mountains Saturday night into Sunday morning. VFR
expected Monday-Tuesday.
