Prayers for Waverly and Sandstone

[awesome guy]

Waverly got hammered with a tornado. The radar is picking up 134 mph winds at Sandstone, but haven't confirmed touchdown. It would be an E2 or E3 with that wind.

I added an e. Should be Sandston, the small town that raised Kong and is right by the airport. Luckily nothing happened there. When I posted this though, radar was picking up a 134 mph rotation over the area and they weren't sure if it was a tornado on the ground or just higher altitude winds.

My sister and her family are out in Gates, NC, just west of Reynoldson on the state line. The RADAR they've been showing for the last half hour showed some really nasty stuff going right through there. I hope everybody in the path of these storms is staying safe!

yeah man, you guys are under the watch now. It's crazy how much energy is in the atmosphere. And here's something crazy that happened at the AG house. I fired up the grill to get in dinner before the storms passed through here. And when I did, it was the absolute hottest grill I've ever had. It was blazen, well over 700 degrees in a short amount of time. I can only guess the wind was blowing hard enough to push more oxygen into it, acting as a blower or the atmospheric change altered something. I don't know, but that grill was crazy hot. It cooked a porterhouse to medium in 5 minutes.

Just spoke to my friends in Sandston, Highland Springs, Varina and Mechanicsville they're all OK.

Friends in Fredericksburg have lost power.

I've never been chased by nor subject to as many twisters and warnings to take cover as I was yesterday. As I left RVA, "take shelter" warnings for sandston. Going east, Charles City, again "take shelter". New Kent. West Point. Yorktown. "take shelter""take shelter" "take shelter". Finally all night in Suffolk. I felt like I was surfing the daggone things!!

Sandstone is a lovely little town located in Powhatan along route 360.
