This was a strip mall. AP photographer Gary C. Knapp captured the scene today as firefighters and rescue workers picked through the debris that was left behind one day after a tornado tore through Suffolk, Va.
The latest story says more than 200 people were injured and 140 buildings were damaged or destroyed.
I heard about the tornadoes going through Virginia. I'm from London, Ontario and my students are penpals with a class in Hampton, Va. Hope everyone is OK!
OMG...I hope that was no where near Norfolk. Thats where my son lives and I havent talked to him today:( Happy WW and thanks for swinging by. Those poor people...and look at that brand new Mustang!!
Wow...that is one frightening scene. Tornado's are rare around my neck of the country, but once in a great while we will have a small one, that dosn't really cause much damage. Thanks for sharing this story Tisha. Hugs, Kimmie

Hey Crazy Working Mom!
It was so nice to hear from you the other day. I haven't done WW in a while and had not bookmarked my fav sites that I met on WW.
But I have now, so I'll get to stop by more.
The Tornado was awful, I'm glad that no one was killed.
Whoa. That's pretty scary.
I'm sorry to hear about such a catastrophe brought by a tornado.
What a terrible scene.
Tornados are rather scary and destructive.
Yes, Tisha, I heard about the tornadoes. Terrible, I hope you are fine and your house and belongings!
