The state of Virginia was hit by a series of tornadoes yesterday, April 28, 2008, injuring 200 residents, killing 1, and destroying at least 140 homes.
The tornadoes passed through Suffolk, Colonial Heights, and the area near Lawrence, destroying property, vehicles, and businesses.
A Virginia wide state of emergency was announced as the three tornadoes ripped through neighborhoods, downing power lines and damaging anything in their path.
A day after the storm those in Virginia are left to clean up the aftermath. A huge task considering the amount of debris that the multiple tornadoes created.
You can see the horrible amount of devastation that Suffolk has experienced in the CNN.com photo slide show.
