Virgina folks OK?

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

Wasn't really near me and as of last night there were no reported deaths. A teacher friend of mine called and said that she had to drive through the debris littering the interstate, south of Richmond, last night. It sucks for anyone who lives in Hopewell, Suffolk and surrounding communities.
The sound of a tornado coming at you is something I heard once and never want to experience again. It gives you this crazy feeling that you can't get off the tracks - even a near miss is scary.

What happened? Tornadoes?

Three "something like tornadoes." Where's Heinekin?

I thought Heinekin was in the Piedmont or Blue Ridge region of Virginia. These storms were in the southern Coastal Plain. It's not unheard of to get twisters there, but usually they are offshore as 'waterspouts'. I have people in Chesapeake which is near to Suffolk, but I haven't talked with them yet.
