Well, just had some serious Tornado Warnings for Winchester, Virginia. One just missed the hospital about 5-10 minutes away from my house, right now it's quiet, I'll keep you guys updated.

They say around F1-F2, maybe F3 stage, three buildings have been reported knocked down at the Airport, probobaly hangars.

I guess they are headed up the road to my house then huh?

Multiple sightings of funnels here in Berkeley Co.

Holy crap! My Broadband connection just got back online. We had 4 tornados around my county. One touched down on I-81 and threw cars and trucks everywhere and the interstate had to be shut down north & south bound, to clean up the carnage.

I was up till 4:30 last night because my wife was scared silly that a tornado was going to rip through our house. Ughhhhhhh... I hate sloppy seconds with these hurricanes.

My dad had to drive through I-81 to get to his work (VA Hospital), he said it was wrecked, especially with all of these construction near Martinsburg, those cones probobaly got thrown around like leaves.

Thanks Ria.


Wilco, I have yet to go out to see I81 yet but my in-laws came down today and said it looked pretty bad. All my power stayed on but as soon as the tornado touched down my cable went caput!!! It just came back on about an hour or so ago and it is just creeping along. I guess they are routing all the traffic through one cable at a time until all lines are repaired.

I'm just glad there wasn't many fatalities. From what I've heard, one man driving a semi is in critical condition after the twister lifted and tossed the truck off the interstate into the woods. :|

Hope all are well in southern/western VA and WVA. No sign of trouble here in Northern VA, but it was a cool 66 today.
