GLOUCESTER COUNTY, Va. Friday marked 10 years since an EF3 tornado tore through Gloucester County. The devastating storm destroyed Page Middle School and crushed homes in its path.
Danny Strother, who was paralyzed in the April 16, 2011, storm, died from injuries he sustained during the tornado just two weeks shy of the 10th anniversary.
âItâs very difficult. I lost my best friend,â said Christie Matthews, Strotherâs fiancee. âHe never gave up, not for a second. He fought until the bitter end.â
