Just wanted to see if everyone in our region is doing well following the crazy weather we had on Saturday. From the news, it looks like a tornado touched down in the Stuarts Draft area.
My family is fine and other than our gravel driveway being washed away in a couple of places, no issues to report.
Is everyone okay?

Re: Is everyone okay?
My parents have a few trees laying on their barn, and many, many missing after one basically jumped over their yard. Everyone's okay, they peaced out to Ocean City and just left the mess for a few days

The tornado was a few miles from my house. No damage here...Chiketkd wrote:Just wanted to see if everyone in our region is doing well following the crazy weather we had on Saturday. From the news, it looks like a tornado touched down in the Stuarts Draft area.

Re: Is everyone okay?
thought i almost lost the colt. turns out even tho the colt only weights 1900 pounds it cannot be used as a boat. i was forced off the road and "crash landed" in a 2 foot deep puddle. a little water in the doors and water got all in the electronics. managed to sputter back to a friends house. my road was turned into a foot deep river until early AM sunday morning so that gave me plenty of time to work on the car and dry it out. pleased to report colt is now ok tho.

Re: Is everyone okay?
Lynn and I were on worker stations at VIR, when everyone had to run for cover. We all watched the weather map, as the center of the storm appeared to pass over the track, but we were lucky to not see a tornado. Some pretty serious rain and high winds, but no actual tornado. The wind took out the umbrella at Station 11, but I did not see any really bad damage at the track, although we heard reports of tornado damage nearby.
