Eight of the 22 victims of a weekend tornado that devastated parts of Oklahoma and Missouri died in cars -- troubling experts who say vehicles are among the worst places to be when a twister bears down. At least 25 people were dead in Missouri, Oklahoma, Georgia and Alabama after severe storms erupted Saturday over the southern plains and swept east. Sixteen people died in Missouri from the same storm that decimated Picher, Okla., killing six there. The death toll increased Monday when Tyler Casey, a 21-year-old firefighter with the Redings Mill fire district in Seneca, died at an area hospital. Officials said he got caught in the tornado while trying to warn people to seek shelter. Casey leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter and a pregnant fiance.

Tornadoes Injure Hundreds in Virginia By SONJA BARISIC,AP Posted: 2008-04-29 06:04:13 Filed Under: Nation News SUFFOLK, Va. (April 29) - Three tornadoes ripped through Virginia on Monday, with one hop-scotching across the southeastern part of the state and leaving behind a 25-mile trail of gutted homes, tossed cars and more than 200 injured residents. Photo Gallery Steve Earley, The Virginian-Pilot / AP 'It Sounded Like a Train'1 of 5 More than 200 people were injured Monday as three tornadoes swept through central and southeastern Virginia. Above, residents of the Burnett's Mill neighborhood in Suffolk, Va., survey the damage caused by the storms. "Multiple buildings have been destroyed, homes have been destroyed," a city spokesperson said. Residents of some of the hardest hit neighborhoods in this town outside Norfolk were forced to evacuate their homes, with buses taking them to nearby shelters. Police closed roads, steering people away from streets with downed power lines. Downed trees and power lines covered the streets in a section of the city. A vending machine was tilted on its side, leaning up against a pile of rubble that had been the general store in a small shopping district. "It's just a bunch of broken power poles, telephone lines and sad faces," said Richard Allbright, who works for a tree removal service in Driver and had been out for hours trying to clear the roads. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine declared a state of emergency for the areas of southeastern Virginia struck by the twisters. The National Weather Service confirmed that tornadoes struck Suffolk, Colonial Heights and Brunswick County. Meteorologist Bryan Jackson described Suffolk's as a "major tornado." Jackson said the Brunswick County tornado was estimated at 86 mph to 110 mph, and cut a 300-yard path of destruction. The first tornado touched down around 1 p.m. in Brunswick County, said Mike Rusnak, a weather service meteorologist in Wakefield. The second struck Colonial Heights around 3:40 p.m., he said. The third touched down multiple times, between 4:30 to 5 p.m., and is believed to have caused damage over a 25-mile path from Suffolk to Norfolk, Rusnak said. At least 200 were injured in Suffolk and 18 others were injured in Colonial Heights, south of Richmond, said Bob Spieldenner from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. In Colonial Heights, the storm overturned cars and damaged buildings in the Southpark Mall area. Suffolk city spokeswoman Dana Woodson said the area around Sentara Obici Hospital and in the community of Driver, located within the city, were hardest hit. The hospital was damaged but still able to treat patients. Insulation, wiring and twisted metal hung from the front of a strip mall in Suffolk that was stripped bare of its facing. Cars and SUVs in the parking lot outside lay strewn about, some lying on top of others. Several of Gregory A. Parker's businesses and his pre-Civil War-era home in Driver were damaged in the tornado. The porch was blown off his Arthur's General Store. At another store he owns, the tin roof was rolled up like a sardine can. The facade of his home collapsed and the windows were blown out. Inside, furniture was tossed about. "I hate to say it sounded like a train, but that's the truth," Parker said. His wife, Ellise, rode out the storm in the first-floor bathroom of an antique store. The building lost its second story. His brother, Craig S. Parker, owns the general store that sells hunting and fishing supplies. Parker is spending the night with his sister, who lives nearby. "I don't even think a leaf blew off at her house. That's how tornadoes are," he said. Sentara hospital spokesman Dale Gauding said about 60 injured people were being treated there, and he expected most to be released. "We have lots of cuts and bruises" and arm and leg injuries, he said. The hospital's windows were cracked, apparently by debris from a damaged shopping center across the street. Southside Regional Medical Center treated one storm victim with minor injuries and was poised to receive more, hospital spokeswoman Terry Tysinger said. Property damage also was reported in Brunswick County, one of several localities where the weather service had issued a tornado warning. Sgt. Michelle Cotten of the Virginia State Police said a twister destroyed two homes. Trees and power lines were down, and some flooding was reported. About 6,000 Dominion Virginia Power customers remained without service Monday night, mostly in the Northern Neck. Laura Southard, a state emergency management spokeswoman, said the damage assessment will be done Tuesday.

This controversial development has now resurfaced, April 2008. It is to do with a proposed disguised real estate suburb in an isolated area of extreme biodiversity and weather. This is the supposed Environmental Assessment, but this film shows the REALITY of the weather conditions which can be extreme. The developer says there will be no permanent residents but what they propose is 400 living quarters ranging from 200 villas to 100 serviced apartments and a 100 room hotel ALL PRIVATELY OWNED. In other words a HOUSING ESTATE.... and they say that's NOT residential!!! They have not even taken Climate Change into consideration.

Most people had little or no warning. In 1989 NEXRAD Doppler radar was at least five years away in this part of the U.S. The local TV stations didn't have advanced radar with shear markers, wind speeds, storm tracks, and time of impact. They couldn't track a tornado that was in progress. Everybody relied mostly on storm spotters to confirm that there was a tornado on the ground. A few days after the tornado, I went to look at the damage firsthand. I wish I'd had access to a video camera back then. I was amazed at what I saw. Trees were uprooted and snapped off like matchsticks. The remaining tree trunks had the bark stripped off of them. In some cases there were vacant lots where houses once stood. Everything had been swept away including the foundations and all the plumbing. No one could survive that unless they were completely underground. It's been 19 years since Cleveland County has seen an F4 tornado. I can't help but wonder if we're due for another one.
