QUEEN COUNTY AFTER RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM THE 911 CENTER AND 
TALKING TO A COUNTY RESIDENT WHO'S FARM EXPERIENCED STORM DAMAGE 
DURING THE EVENING OF SEP 28 2006.


IT WAS DETERMINED FROM THE STORM SURVEY THAT AN F1 TORNADO OCCURRED.

TROUGH AN AREA OF TREES AT TREETOP LEVEL WEST OF ROUTE 14...CROSSED 
THE HIGHWAY AND CAME DOWN TO GROUND LEVEL AS IT APPROACHED THE FARM. 
TWO LARGE TREES NEAR THE HOME WERE UPROOTED. ANOTHER LARGE TREE HAD 
LARGE BRANCHES SNAPPED AND TWISTED. STILL OTHER TREES EAST AND NORTH 
OF THE HOME WERE SNAPPED OFF AT THE TREETOPS AND HAD EVIDENCE OF 
STRIPPED BARK. TWO CONCRETE OUTBUILDINGS WERE DEMOLISHED WITH ROOFS 
STREWN ABOUT. ANOTHER CONCRETE BUILDING WAS PARTIALLY STANDING AND 
ROOF TORN OFF. A METAL GARAGE/SHED BUILDING HAD THE FRONT ENTRANCE 
AND CONCRETE FOUNDATION DAMAGED. THE BACK DOOR WAS BLOWN 
OPEN...PROBABLY HELPING TO KEEP THE ROOF INTACT. THERE WAS AN 
OBVIOUS PATH THROUGH AN AREA OF TREES AS THE FUNNEL LIFTED AND 
EXITED. ANOTHER FARM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THOSE TREES HAD NO DAMAGE. 
THE PATH LENGTH OF THE STORM WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 1 1/2 TO 2 MILES 
AND STORM WIDTH VARIED FROM 50-100 YARDS. 

...F1 TORNADO DAMAGE FOUND IN FAR NORTHWEST NOTTOWAY COUNTY...
