Some recent member submitted photos of the tornado damage. Plus the Southside Sentinel's

A Jackson Creek Condo contractor reports Route 33 is open through Deltaville and power is restored to Condo area and maybe all of Stingray Point.
Estimated Tornado Path??
on
Based on personal observations yesterday and the WAVY aerial video http://www.wavy.com/dpp/news/local_news/chopper-10:-storm%27s-aftermath I am guessing that the blue shapes on this google map show the path the tornado followed. You can look at the Google map here.
Personal Tornado Updates on Facebook

Facebook Notes written by two members - first Carrie Russell from early this morning - talking about dinner at Mayo's house:
After "Blessing of the Fleet" today, Deltaville was hit by a tornado. It really sounds like a train racing towards you. Having dinner at friend's on Moore's Point, I felt the wind velocity intensify and saw a "white hole" ...not a hole really but the tornado. We literally dove for cover in the basement and a split second later, the tornado touched down on my friend's home and blew the doors, windows out. Looks like a war zone. Much of the contents of the house were strewn across the front yard and huge tree tops twisted off …
Offshore Racing cancelled
on
Alex Alvis just called and asked me to notify everyone that FBYC has decided to cancel the offshore racing scheduled for Sunday.
It is a beautiful day today, but a tornado did come thru Deltaville last night and did substantial damage to the town, the Zoar Baptist Church - pictured below, and destroyed several houses. The Southside Sentinel has a pretty complete update at http://www.ssentinel.com/index.php/breakingnews/article/storm_damage_in_deltaville_and_gloucester/
Alex asked that those in Deltaville today dedicate their efforts to helping those in need in town and cleaning up the club. If you do drive around, please be careful about downed power lines.
Lots of pictures of damage as of last night at https://www.facebook.com …
Tornado in Deltaville
on
A tornado went through Deltaville around 8pm this evening. Fishing Bay Rd is currently blocked between Powells Marina Rd and Deagles rd. Everyone at opening dinner/party is safe. There are reports of homes near 33 that were leveled. Stayed tuned to our facebook page and twitter feed for further updates.
Update 10:55 pm, based on various reports of damage, here is where *I think* the tornado went through from south west to north east
Update 11:35 pm: based on more recent reports the path would have been a smidge to the right as if the line were directly over the road name 'general' at the top of the image.
Please note I was not in Deltaville, and …

New US Regulations - Your Chance for Input
on
Having recently imposed new regulations for the commercial marine industry and boatyards, the Federal EPA is now focusing its attention on recreational boating. As we are learning, the members of the EPA panels responsible for these new regulations are not necessarily knowledgeable about sailors, sailboats, or the seamanship that we practice.
FBYC members have an opportunity for input. What follows is a communication from BOATUS listing links that will enable you to have a voice in this important debate of vital interest to FBYC sailors:
"The U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) is developing future clean boating requirements for all recreational boats in the next few months, and they need to hear from you. During April, they are hosting weekly …

PHRF SAYS YOU MUST HAVE A PHRF
RATING FOR THE PHRF FLEET IN WHICH YOU PLAN TO
RACE. That is to say, if you are racing PHRF
Non-Spin, you must have a PHRF Non-Spin rating (a PHRF Spinnaker
rating will not do!) If you are racing in a PHRF Spin fleet, you must have
a PHRF Spin rating (a PHRF Non-Spin rating will not do!) PHRF is very
clear about this. If you do not have the rating you need, call PHRF at
