West Viginia is in a State of Emergency Friday - Two Tornados touched down in Greenbrier County. I was cashiering at Wal-Mart at the time. It didn't seem to last that long but it certainly did some major damage. I observed the debris, falling trees and broken glass in the parking lot. I heard sirens. My thought was - I am not going anywhere until it calms down. I was texting my who works in towntown Lewisburg. Billy was wanting to go home. The roads to home were blocked. He said he looked out the window of the resturant where he was working. The Sky turned green and he saw a funnel formation. Luckily it did not turn into a full blown tornado. When I finally headed home, the main roads were blocked so I took the backroads dodging the crazy deer and falling trees. Billy stayed with a friend in town. He and several guys went to the Friend's Mother's House. She was on Vacation and told them to eat EVERYTHING. There was power and it would all go bad if they didn't. The power came back on for Wal-Mart on Monday. I didn't go back to work until Tuesday. I had my own situations to deal with at home. I was told that it was worse than Black Friday. It was also extremely busy the rest of this week. So many people are in dire straits. The biggest need is ICE which gets sold faster than it is delivered and stocked. We have the National Guards. West Virginians are tough so this too shall pass and Life will be sweet again.  Abracadabra  |

Hi Star: That is scary and glad you are o.k. Yesterday I was in a big store crowded with shoppers. There were about five huge cracks of lightning and thunder and it started pouring outside. I'm not afraid of lightning so I kept on shopping but it seemed unnaturally quiet in the store, then I looked around and I was the only person there. Every single aisle in the store was empty, except me. I asked the cashier what happened to all the shoppers, and she said they all ran after the first couple of minutes of lightning.

A close companion of mine has a sister living in West Va. I will tell him to give her a call as I don't know if it's anywhere the same area as you and your situation. I hope things get better for you all down there soon. Seems like you've been getting hit hard there with these storms and recent such bad weather. Take care.
