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.

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 27, 8:49 AM EDT, 2 hours 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
849 AM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
Rounds of showers and thunderstorms will continue across the
area today, with moderate to heavy rain associated with remnants
of Hurricane Helene expected. This will greatly enhance the
threat of flooding in the mountains and foothills. There is also
a threat for tornadoes this afternoon as Helene's rain bands
track across the area. Calm drier weather is expected over the
weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 845 AM EDT Friday...
Key Messages:
1) Significant flooding expected; do not try and drive through
water covered roads!
2) Heavy rain, landslides, tornadoes, and very gusty winds are
expected to be a threat for much of the area today.
Tornado watch has been issued for the Virginia and North
Carolina piedmont through 6PM. This should be through the end of
the tornado threat for this area. Keep in mind that tornadic
activity associated with tropical cyclones are typically short-
vied. They can form and dissipate in minutes. We are monitoring
radar for both flash flooding and severe weather, but DO NOT
wait for a tornado warning before taking protective action.
No changes to the timing of the rainfall from Tropical Storm
Helene at this time.
Previous Discussion:
Hurricane Helene will likely be downgraded to a tropical storm
as she approaches the southern Appalachians this morning. This
afternoon remnants of Helene will track into eastern Kentucky
and merge with an upper level low this evening. This system will
then wobble over Kentucky through this weekend.
Affects of Helene are already being felt in the southern
Appalachians, as high moisture content interacts with the higher
terrain, wringing out moderate to heavy rain. Repeated rounds
of rain and increased forcing for ascent have contributed to
rainfall amounts so far ranging from 3 to 7 inches in the last
24 hours from the mountains westward. To the east, amounts have
been generally resulted in 1 to 3 inches. An additional 1 to 2
inches is expected for the lower terrain, with 3 to 7 inches
possible for parts of the Blue Ridge and western NC mountains. A
Flood Watch remains in place for the entire area today. Flood
Warnings may linger into tonight while river flooding continues
into the weekend.
Strong sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts as high as 60
mph are expected for elevated parts of the Blue Ridge,
generally above 3500 ft. A Wind Advisory is in place for most of
the remainder of the area, with speeds of 15 to 25 mph with
gusts to 45 mph possible.
A few tropical spinups are possible today as rainbands from
Helene arrive from the south. SPC has the area in a Moderate
Risk with a Slight Risk across Southside VA and NW NC piedmont.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 200 AM EDT Friday...
Key Messages:
1) Saturday will be mostly dry and the quietest day of the
weekend, though isolated showers cannot be ruled out.
2) Higher rain chances return for Sunday into early next week,
as the remnant low of Helene tracks back eastward over the area.
Although muggy conditions will continue for Saturday, with
dewpoints generally in the mid to upper 60s, there is moderately
high confidence that mostly dry conditions will be across the
RNK CWA. A few isolated showers will remain possible,
particularly in the higher elevations as upslope flow continues.
However, mid-level dry air will keep most locations free of
rain, with some rare sunshine expected to return, especially in
the NC/VA piedmont. This decrease in cloud cover will cause
temperatures to rise, with highs mainly in the 70s, and eastern
areas seeing low 80s.
The remnant low of Hurricane Helene will meander across the
Ohio River Valley on Saturday and begin to drift back to the
east on Sunday. This will moisten up the atmosphere once again,
allowing scattered showers and possibly even a few thunderstorms
to develop during the afternoon hours on Sunday. The low will
continue to meander across the Mid-Atlantic region heading into
Monday, with no major steering current around to move it
offshore, increasing shower and storm chances. The additional
cloud cover will keep temperatures around normal, with highs
generally in the mid to upper 70s, and lows around 60 degrees.
Confidence is moderate on QPF amounts through Monday, as both
the GFS and ECMWF model ensemble QPF means have around
0.25-0.50" for most of the forecast area. Isolated spots could
see around 0.75" or higher in the heavier showers and storms.
Monday looks to be the wettest day, as the low moving over the
area will increase lift.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 200 AM EDT Friday...
Key Messages:
1) Scattered showers continue early next week as the remnant
low of Helene lingers.
2) A cold front comes through the area midweek, bringing much
quieter and cooler conditions back for the late week.
Not much changes for Monday night into Tuesday, as the remnant
low continues to bring showers across the CWA. By midweek, a
cold front will move across the northern US and finally pick up
the remnant low of Helene and move it offshore. The cold front
looks to mainly be a dry front, but confidence in this remains
low. Models disagree on the exact timing of the front, but once
it does pass through, quieter weather will be in place for the
late week.
Temperatures are expected to be at or above normal through
Wednesday ahead of the front. Highs will mostly be in the 70s,
with piedmont locations around 80 while low temperatures will be
in the upper 50s to low 60s. Once the front passes, high
temperatures return to normal in the mid 70s, with 60s in the
higher elevations, and low temperatures will fall into the 40s
and low 50s.
&&
.AVIATION /13Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 230 AM EDT Friday...
Note: KLWB AWOS remains INOP since 26/2245Z. Amendment not
scheduled.
Persistent area of moderate to occasionally heavy rain, with
prolonged rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour have resulted in
flooding southwest of a line from Bluefield WV to Yadkinville
North Carolina. Ceilings will continue to vary from IFR to MVFR
until sunset then lower to IFR/LIFR across the region overnight.
Visibility will occasionally lower to MVFR in the heavier rain.
Catastrophic, life- threatening flooding is possible overnight
into Friday, especially along the southern Appalachians. Check
your destination before you fly.
Easterly Low Level Wind Shear across the mountains increases
this morning to 40 to 60 kts. Sustain winds of 15-25kft with
gusts from 30-45kts are possible between 13Z and 20Z today as
Helene's winds field moves across the area. Wind speeds diminish
late this afternoon into the overnight hours.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...
Flight conditions should improve Saturday through Tuesday. A
chance of light showers will continue around the remnants of
Helene.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Affects of Hurricane Helene continue to be felt in the southern
Appalachians, as high moisture content interacts with the
higher terrain, wringing out moderate to heavy rain. Repeated
rounds of rain and increased forcing for ascent have contributed
to rainfall amounts so far ranging from 3 to 7 inches in the
last 24 hours from the mountains westward. To the east, amounts
have been generally resulted in less than 3 inches. An
additional 1 to 3 inches is expected for the lower terrain, with
3 to 8 inches possible for parts of the Blue Ridge and western
NC mountains. A Flood Watch remains in place for the entire
area, and we have received reports of high water rescues,
flooded roads, streams and rivers increasing to bankfull and
beyond, and a landslide.
River flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly on the
following rivers: Clinch, New, Roanoke, and Dan.
