SWVAGIRL Bristol, VA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #14 Apr 28, 2011 Judged: 4 4 4 Don't be too alarmed if you can't reach someone...Power is out in many places as well as cell service. Where exactly is Mineral VA? I'm not real sure, I'm in Abingdon about 10 miles from Glade Springs and the destruction there is horrible. The death toll could have been much higher, but somehow although there was a lot of damage there were not many lives lost.
prayers going out Manassas, VA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #15 Apr 28, 2011 Judged: 5 4 4 Went through glade springs on my way up to DC today so much damage and destruction. Talked to a trucker and he said that he lost 6 co workers last night. This weather is crazy and I am afraid that this is just the beginning of crazy natural disasters in the US.

There were reports of 7 people dead earlier today, there are still several people missing....the report then changed to only 4 confirmed dead. We won't know the total until everybody that is missing is accounted for or found...He may very well be telling the truth....Anyway, 1 life lost is 1 too many....I sure hope "hhaha" is just your screen name, because I see absolutely no humor in this situation.
