Cousins, For all those with ties to Wise Co VA, you may have heard that Big Stone Gap was hit with a F1 tornado this past Tuesday March 4, 2008 at 4:55pm. Most of the damage was in the Poplar Hill area. Eddie Kilbourne, a local photographer and has over 309 pics on his photo site. It is recommend to click on slideshow, (far right top of the page), and just let it run. The pictures are phenomenal! http://kilbournephoto.smugmug.com/gallery/4461486_7fH8D#262371746 When Big Stone Gap boomed in the 1890's - early 1900's, the iron ore, coal and land barons built their Victorian style homes here; obviously not to modern day code. Many of the trees that fell were grand monarchs over 100 years old - oaks & hickories fell like twigs. One can only imagine the damage an F5 would do, Debra --- avast!
