Richmond area hit by tornadoes

Still reeling from Hurricane Isabel, southside and central Virginia was hit by at least four weak tornadoes stemming from one supercell thunderstorm early yesterday morning.

Trees falling under the force of the high winds of the storm, passing through Henrico and Hanover counties, knocked out power that was only recently restored in the wake of Isabel.

The National Weather Service reported the storms' winds reached up to 112 mph.

Citizens, some who had cars and homes severely damaged, were shocked at the destruction the thunderstorm wrought.
