Cskin Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 We had a pretty eventful day here in Virginia. Several instances of funnel clouds and also damage from "straight line" winds. No injuries thankfully, and it now appears we're going to see nothing more than a rain event from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Well, I just saw video on Fox 5 of a tornado touching down in VA a couple of hours ago. Scary. There have been reports of tornados in MD as well. Hope everyone is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Awesome pic, Johnny. Could you see the rotation? This has been one of the wildest weather days around here in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I live in Stokesdale NC...called my wife from work (I was about 45 min away) to tell her a tornado was on the ground, and could hear the wind in the background. She got in a closet, and then I lost the connection. Took me several hours to contact her....scary stuff. Our kids were in the duck and cover for hours at school today. Luckily, it wiped out some power lines and a couple mobile homes, and that was it. But scary stuff. My storm insurance just went up. NC apparently is now part of Tornado Alley. One hit just north of us (in Stoneville NC) a few years ago and took some lives. You guys north of VA keep an eye on the remnants of Ivan. He still has some kick in him.

My digital camera has a video feature on it and I which I did that instead of taking pics. Here is another pic where a tornado might have dropped down for a sec or two...

halter91 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 According to the weather channel, 1 destroyed a few house near Rockville, NC? Pretty nasty, they also said that 106 tornadoes spawned off Ivan, I believe i was a record. We are expected 1-2 inches of rain here in Philly.

Samuels Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Damn we have some other members in Stafford I used to mow grass all around that nieghborhood thats right behind the CVS on 610? I actually was reading this board earlier and my girl was nagging at me to leave but I wanted to finish reading it took a couple more minutes. Soon has we head out I see a funnel cloud then another within a 1/4 mile. She says stop being parnoid you'll scare the kids. Then I see it off to my right on the ground and then she was panicking. We turned to go the way the storm came and it had trees all in the road just ripped **** up. We tried to go a different way and it was closed has well for down trees. Today was a wild day seeing a tornado live. If I would'nt have been pressed on reading extremeskins its a good chance we woulda been in the path. I heard it threw trees across 3 lanes of interstate 95 I believe from the same twister I saw. A girl said it touched down right behind her car on 95 and was distraught on the radio.
