When the tornado demolished the WalMart in Colonial Heights, 1993

When a tornado hit the Wal Mart in Colonial Heights in 1993.

I thought I made an entry about this over the Summer, but I guess not.

I remember my mom dropped me off at my half sisters that day while she went to a doctors appointment at Langley Air Force Base. She was supposed to pick me up that afternoon. Well, that didn’t happen. A tornado hit Langley, and mom and dad couldn’t get me from my half sisters until the next day. I remember my niece and I watching this torn up Wal Mart on TV the next day with dad.

I don’t know if Wal Mart built here again or not? Petersburg/Colonial Heights people, help?

Oh, and those twins! [/Coors ad]

You can see more damage from Colonial Heights/Petersburg from that tornado from these two videos:

I read that SouthPark mall was damaged too? Although I’ve never seen any photos of it.

Oh right, I moved to Staunton last week.

Former Wal Mart; Staunton ,VA

The abandoned Lowes next to it is also part of the warehouse. Nice use of a former Wal Mart.
