Hi Dodie, you mentioned previously: " I have finally finished my book, Whirlwind In Appalachia. It is not for sale. I am sending it to family members as a Christmas present this year. I was born at Whirlwind in Appalachia and most people have never heard of it. Whirlwind is is now extinct, like the lost city of Gilgal in the Bible. According Webster's dictionary, the definition of whirlwind is "a small rotating windstorm of limited extent marked by an inward and upward spiral motion and usually with a progressive motion at all levels." " Dodie (Smith) Browning Where exactly was Whirlwind located? In my research of close familial relations in the Logan County Courthouse record books, I have found that Whirlwind was listed as some of their place of residences....and I often wondered where Whirlwind was, being that the majority of the persons I was researching were originally from Lincoln Co., WV. And knowing that it has been one of those towns that has since disappeared, just like the community of Gill, Lincoln Co., WV, I was not surprised when the courthouse clerks did not know where it was originally....
