Event Details
April 1, 2006, aerial imagery taken by the Commonwealth of Virginia one and a half years later. It was recovered from the USGS archives and shows the partially logged stationary vortex mark.
38 tornadoes tore across parts of Virginia on September 17, 2004 – the largest outbreak in state history. This was the result of Hurricane Ivan.
