Just so you know, because of what President Bush has done during his presidency, Virginia voted out every (I believe, every) single Republican running for re-election over the past few years.

Actually in VA we get more and more tornadoes every year. While most are not the news-making ones of the mid-west, I have definitely seen a huge increase in the number of reported tornadoes over the years.

Several years ago, one came through my neighborhood, severely damaging a co-workers house 2 blocks away. A few years later, one came by my boyfriend''s area and blew up a house 3 doors down from him, killing a woman and her newborn. Another was reportedly going towards one of my client''s neighborhood according to the news. I called them to tell them to take cover, in case they didn''t have power or radio. Turned out they had no idea it was coming. They were ok.

U.S. Weather patterns are out of sync and unpredictable in the extreme, if you own a home and don''t have disaster insurance in addition to your normal insurance, you are rolling the dice and the odds are not in your favor! Buy disaster insurance for your investment even if you can''t afford it!

Thank you for all the weather reports. I feel for your communities both in Chicago and Virginia.

While here in Illinois we are expecting frost tonight. The weather has been crazy this year. Between the winds, and the earthquakes here in Illinois, I have had nearly $20,000 in damages since the first of the year. No doubt my insurance rates will go up again.

I do wish those in Virgina the very best.

My Nephew was stationed kinda close to that area. He''s in the Navy thank goodness he''s already shipped out and was not in the area. I just can''t feature what it would be like to have 95% of my town gone in just minutes. God bless them all!!

Pat Robertson will be claiming any minute now that the tornadoes were sent because not enough Virginians were ponying-up to the 700 Club......

When Hurricane Katrina took out New Orleans, more than one "upstanding" "Christian" republican figurehead said THAT was God punishing New Orleans for it''s "sinful ways". It appears that gce65 was applying the same standard to this event, so what he said was entirely appropriate sarcasm, not ignorance or buffoonery.

To gce65,

Be silent, you ignorant buffoon.

Now then... to comment about the story itself. This is very bizarre. Tornadoes that close to the coast? I wonder if la Nina had anything to do with this... it''s possible.
