Rockingham County residents should continue to use caution around storm damage after the county posted an active alert for power outages and downed trees.
The official county website carried an emergency banner on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, stating that power outages and down trees were impacting Rockingham County following a severe thunderstorm. The banner directed residents to the county emergency page for more information.
The county page viewed by GetStarNews did not list a specific outage count, road list or timestamp for the storm-damage alert. Because details may change quickly, residents should rely on official county updates, utility outage maps and emergency services for current conditions.
- What to know: Treat every downed power line as energized and stay clear of trees tangled in wires.
- Who is affected: Reidsville, Eden, Wentworth, Stoneville, Madison-Mayodan and rural Rockingham County residents may see localized impacts.
- Safety action: Call 911 for immediate hazards, report outages through the power provider and avoid driving around barricades or through debris-covered roads.
GetStarNews is treating this as a developing public-safety brief based on the county's active official alert. Additional details should be confirmed before reporting specific outage numbers or closure locations.
