A walk through the Village of Driver Virginia

Driver Village is located in Suffolk, Virginia at the intersections of Route 125 and Route 337. It has much history and many old buildings as well as a laid back atmosphere and a community that can pull through just about anything including a Tornado that swept through our town on April 28th, 2008. Driver has quaint places to shop and a place to enjoy quick breakfast or lunch as well.

Driver Tornado Posting

I was able to take 7 pictures and a video after I rescued Leroy from the Driver Variety Store, after it was devastated by the tornado that came into town on April 28, 2008. The tornado page can be found at http://drivervillage.com/tornado/ .

Never in my life have I seen such an event with my own eyes. I have seen lots of hurricanes, and even ice storms, however to have so much destruction in a small area was unbelievable. I saw the tornado when it entered the south side of Driver and as it was just able to hit the Variety Store. I was so big that still have problems believing what I saw that day. I will never forget what I said when I saw it either.

Many people have helped with the cleanup and rebuilding after the tornado.
