News Flash: Tornado flattens Deltaville

Who would have thought it?  Certainly not us….. 

At 7.30pm on 16th April  2011, Deltaville was struck by a tornado.  It apparently touched down near Porpoise Cove Lane (near the 7-Eleven) and before making its way to the Rappahannock River, completely destroyed 28 homes in its path.  A further 21 houses suffered major damage and 31 minor damage. That is an enormous number for such a small village.  I am not sure at this time of any further loss.  We understand the marinas were spared, but have yet to hear.

Our thoughts are with everyone in Deltaville, wishing them all a safe and speedy recovery.
