i just got back to station 10 on bennetts pasture road.

downtown driver is basically not there any more. sleepyhole and nansemond parkway or pretty fucked too.

i was the engineer on the first due engine company to downtown driver for a report of a tornado touchdown. it was complete devastation.

looks like its gonna be a long night.

 

do yall need any help with stuff around the station? I can go up there and help around there if its needed.

 

yeah i was working out in west point today and overheard someone talking about a tornado watch or warning, this was around 4PM, then driving back through gloucester, that place was crazy. power out in some shopping centers, traffic lights out, debris on the road, and then my dad calls me from NC because he had seen suffolk on the news. crazy day, glad to hear everyones safe though.

 

we got e-10 manned par 6 and e-310 has duty crew on call as well as chief callis in car 110.

dude i was fucking driving e-10 to obici on 2nd alarm and was passing NRHS looked out the window on the officers side and saw a fucking f3 tornado, you could hear my butthole close up from a mile away.

 

Im referring to like stuff doing around the station to help out since yall have had a long day.

 

make me mah dinner

 

I dont have a problem going out there but I feel I would just be getting in the way. I imagine they would want professional tree services out there. Im sure lawsuits have taken place in the past of people helping and messing stuff up more. I have water keys to shut off mains of houses, voltage indicators, and most of all common sense.

 

Weird, I used to be like a manager there for a while. I called up there to make sure you guys were okay when I heard one touched down around North Hampton Arch.

(This is buddy, if you don't know who it is. If you still don't almost everyone working there knows me.)

 

There is a lot of man power at the scene. Progress is being made, but it's going to take some time to make it safe for people to return home.

 

WTF?? Im just moved over here to kansas in january. today I login on to yahoo after watching the celtics game and saw the headline "tornadoes land in suffolk, va" i couldnt believe the shit. Logged on here to see what was up. still cant believe it. hope everyone is alright. i will pray for yall.
