A tornado touched down just inside the Campbell and Appomattox County line just south of county line road. This tornado continued to track northeast passing just to the southeast of the town of Appomattox impacting the community of Evergreen before ending around Holiday Lake State Park. This tornado was on the ground for 17 miles with a width of 400 yards…and damaged over 100 homes and structures…including one well-built brick house. One fatality and seven injuries resulted from this tornado.
This picture was taken by someone else, but I remember this tornado because my mother drove to Virginia for the week for her friend birthday and I remember her flying back home because this tornado tore her car into pieces !!!
