PETERSBURG, Va. -- This is video of when I arrived at WTVR right after videotaping tornado damage in Old Towne Petersburg on August 6, 1993.
That day, I was at my Petersburg office inside the Alrod building on Sycamore Street when the F4 tornado struck.
I grabbed my gear, ran towards the devastation and began recording.
Then I had to make my way to the television station in Richmond. We went on air with raw video.
Sunday, August 6, 2023 marked the 30th anniversary of the Tri-Cities tornado.
