| [Info] Virginia Tornados
 That's roof gravel on the pavement |  More roof damage |  Front of plaza. Blue tarp is path. |  Phones are out |
As some of you may have heard we had some funnels drop down in Virginia yesterday. Unlike the '93 tornado this one was tagged as an F-1 with only a few people injured (Scratches and bruises). The Interesting part is that this one hit only a few hundred feet from where the '93 funnel hit. I had two client networks just on the other side of the plaza that I had to restart this morning since officials wouldn't let me in yesterday evening. I took this pics before I left the area.

| They were taken behind the plaza with Target and Best Buy (Just south of the mall.). As a matter of fact the larger building in the background is the loading dock area for Best Buy. The office park were two of my clients have offices is behind this plaza.
If your familiar with the tornado that hit in '93, this plaza is just behind the location where the Walmart was destroyed (It's now a Sams Club.).
