Tornado In Suffolk

Our prayers go out to the residents of Suffolk and Driver ,Va. whose communities were devastated by the tornadoes that struck today April 28, 2008.

This can happen to our community as well.

If you'd like to help those in need, you can make a donation with a credit card over the phone by calling 757 539-6645 or by mailing a check to the American Red Cross Suffolk Chapter: 157 North Main St., Suffolk, Va. 23434.

The red cross asks that you do not send clothing or furniture donations. They say the best way to help is to donate money so they can get what they need.

Also, please do not travel to those areas at this time as additional traffic will impede necessary services and there are still live electrical wires exposed and you could put yourself at risk of injury,or death.

Below are links to videos that show the damage these storms caused. Although many
were injured no deaths occurred as reported earlier.
