Tornados in Virginia?!
Were not supposed to get tornadoes in Virginia. A few little presents from hurricane Ivan ripped though Northern Virginia. You could actually see the funnel clouds and trees torn up by Route 66.
According the to the news, a large one formed around Routes 29 and 66 and then headed west — straight for the trailer parks. I’ve never quite understood the affinity tornadoes have for mobile homes, other than to make them truly mobile, that is.

Get any photos? For your next project, you might want to try shooting the eye:

I took a picture of the hurricane remnant induced tornado from rte. 301 just before it hit Bowling Green, Va. in sept. 2004. It was in Free Lance Star. Got a good shot of low hanging cloud in a Dawn, Va. neighborhood that produced it about 15 min. earlier. My first…finally. Been trying all my life to see one. Need more.
