By some miracle, so far no fatalities have been reported in the wake of three tornadoes and other violent storm activity in southeastern Virginia, with the worst of the damage having happened in Suffolk, Va., just under 200 miles from Washington. Dozens of photos of the destruction of homes and businesses are being posted online. The Suffolk News-Harold has a photo gallery up, and photos on Flickr tagged with suffolk offer plenty more.
As many as 200 people are estimated to have been injured. Va. Gov. Tim Kaine said this morning that about 145 homes were “damaged very severely” in Suffolk. Looking for a way to help? You can always give money to the Red Cross or find a nearby blood donation center.
