Midlo Snow Maker Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Gloucester, Virginia - sounds like extensive damage in or near that city according to the local media Page Middle School in Gloucester suffered "Major Damage" according to the Fire Marshal. Unconfirmed report from the public of the school being "half gone". Heres a pic which shows busses flipped in the parking lot... Home destroyed in Gloucester as well from WAVY-TV... And yet another possible tornado in Windsor... Also, a 61 mph wind gust in Franklin...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 There was an employee at Lowe's at the front of the store who saw the tornado coming at them and got on the intercom and urged people to go to the back of the store. She is definitely a hero. She saved numerous lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hertford, NC under the gun This whole system might just beat the 1984 event. Incredible and historic event. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's worse, even though they haven't tallied everything up yet. http://en.wikipedia....ornado_outbreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 My dad is from Farmville. My grandmother still lives in the big old house at the corner of Walnut and Church St across the street from the Episcopal Church. (There's a duplicate house right across the street) Town made out fairly well, considering the sup that passed over, and what I saw from the house here about 5 miles to the east. Going to be a dark night there, town has no power atm, per my wife's friend who is texting her, and the smell of pine when I surveyed it a couple hours ago was pungent! Also saw several Ambulances with emergency traffic, and hearing reports of some injuries per WITN, unsure how many and how severe... WCTI in New Bern just lost power, generators on, took a lightening strike per Skip the chief met Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 From Greene county per County Manager, Greene County Middle School is a complete loss, no fatalities in the county, and 85 people currently homeless... Snow Hill appears to be a mess tonight, shelter has been setup at the high school for those who no longer have a habitable residence.

bingcrosbyb Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 If you think the Elizabeth one is funny, watch what Maria LaRosa from the weather channel said this morning while describing next week's system. I'm sure she will be practicing "digging" in the mirror over the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
