@hoot46356 That's what Wise County gets for not thinking. That said, Wise County needs to invest in a siren system. Just because we are a mountainous area doesn't mean tornadoes can't come (obviously). A siren system would benefit not only Wise County but the whole region. A tornado can just jump over mountains. Nature finds a way to carry out its dreadful deeds.

i had just got out of school and when it hit the town afterschool was still going on but no school the next day :)

Just goes to show that mountains dont protect us from everything weather wise.That had to be scary.
-
This can hit you where you live don't ever think it can't because it may be your home town next we never know. Pls help us thru it lord.

It's rare that a Tornado would touch down at BSG because of the mountains. Even after a tornado touches down usually mountainous areas rip it apart quickly. There is no such thing as a "bowl effect" that the poster under me states. This is swirling air, not cake mix.

@0739334729 i live 2 miles from tis tornado and what makes this so devistating is that the natural "bowl" of mountains fucked us in the ass. think aboyt it this way, take a small bowl, then spin a top really fast inside. it will bounce off the walls and such. the tornado lands in here and it wont just go away. it gets stuck.

Hi Dude, Thanks! I knew there were people that lived away but grew up in Big Stone that wondered what had happen to their town. I was awestruck when I walked on the football field that morning. No lives were lost but while helping a friend recover property from his lost home, I noticed a dead robin(bird) laying on the ground. I then realized with a humble heart that many had been blessed.

I am from Richmond, VA. My heart goes out to Big Stone Gap. My grandmother was from there and I still have family there. I have visited there and I LOVE Big Stone Gap. It is my home away from home. God be with you!
