Tornadoes!

So I was kind of worried about driving across the Midwest during the tornado season, but I didn't much think I had to be worried about tornadoes hitting while I was in the Richmond area this week.

This afternoon a tornado was confirmed in Colonial Heights and overturned a ton of cars and injured at least 18 people in the Target parking lot. You all know the odds are pretty good I would have been at Target, especially with not much else to do.

In the photo above, just behind the grey car in the top of the photo, is Sam's Club - site of two prior tornadoes (an F2 and a really bad F4) when the Wal-Mart was located there.

The storm - and by all counts, the tornado - were last reported heading East toward Williamsburg and Glouchester Point. I hope William and Mary and VIMS aren't hit! I am heading out there Wednesday.
