Tornado in Scott CountyPosted Apr26, 2006 at 06:32 PM6:40 p.m. Tuesday's storms did spawn a tornado in Scott County, in far Southwest Virginia, about 7 miles west of Weber City. The following is a storm report from the National Weather Service in Morristown, Tenn., which has jurisdiction over that part of Virginia: AT APPROXIMATELY 625 PM...AN F0 TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN ON STANLEY VALLEY ROAD AND TRAVELED EAST CROSSING FRISCO ROAD...DESTROYING THREE BARNS AND UPROOTING AND SNAPPING OFF SEVERAL TREES. THE TORNADO PATH WAS 25 YARDS WIDE AND A MILE AND A HALF LONG. In another tornado note ... this just hasn't been a good month at Caruthersville, Missouri. After being devastated April 2 by a monstrous F3 tornado (see my column on that storm, linked here), an F1 tornado hit the town on Tuesday, with its path 1/4 to 1/2 mile south of the April 2 tornado path. |
