If Bush had signed the Kyoto Treaty, none of this would be happening.

Bawney Frank is running around, "It's a twister...it's a twister!!"
We had some in our area earlier today. I hope folks are ok...these are scary. One did some major damage south of Roanoke.
This is just so sad. These storms have taken such a huge toll, and not just in the areas where they made landfall. Prayers for the safety of people in the paths of these storms.
Warner declares state of emergency; apparent tornado hits Henry County

Winds from Tropical Depression Ivan toppled trees and damaged buildings while rain posed the risk of flash floods and mudslides Friday in Virginia.
In the Henry County town of Fieldale, witnesses said an apparent tornado around 12:15 p.m. tore the roof off at least one business.
The National Weather Service reported apparent tornados near Roanoke and Bedford that flattened large trees and posted tornado warnings for several communities, including Fredericksburg and Charlottesville.
At the Fieldale Community Center, about five children who gathered there on a day off from school clustered in a bottom-floor bathroom as the storm roared through, Buster Ferguson, the center's director, said in a telephone interview.
