Drove down to take a look since it's right down the street from my house. The wife called me and said she thought a tornado went through right before that. Said the wind was blowing the chairs all over the deck and making a hell of a ruckus. I can see why. Mayhem down there.

I was told that 28 boats were damaged.

If any of you guys over there need a temporary place to stay or any other type of help, give us a call: Smithfield Station 757-357-7700 just across the river from you - ask for Randy or Brian Pack. Please don't take this as trying to steal business, just offering a helping hand to fellow James River boaters.

Atleast they will be able to rebuild bigger and stronger!

deep creek destruction

thanks for the concern, there about 28 boats have damage,some minor some major,as you look through the photos , There are 2 boats on lifts that are completely covered by the roof of the covered shed, one is mine the other is a friend of mine who owns the parker with twin outboards,we dont know how much damage yet they are bringing in cranes to remove the debris..All the marinas in deep creek have pitched in to help with mooring. That entire pier will have to be torn down and probably another covered pier that was totally lifted off the pilingswill have the same demise. At least the workers at the marina escaped harm. I guess my fishing season is over for a while...The owner, Randy Abbott has been super on getting things done, he wasted no time in getting crews to remove the debris.
