Checking the radar it appears that that tornado is still active IMO and is on the S side of Richmond now. Possible hook echo in the storm behind it too!!! http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/loop/DS.p ... kakq.shtml That storm has one wicked signature and worse yet the ones behing it are training rignt in!! Looks like it could set up a flash flooding problem real quickly!! BE SAFE MAMADUDE!!

Some of the stronger tornadoes, and severe thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern Part of the Country typically are at their strongest from the NW to SE or W to E.
Same thing definitely applies to this area ...

The tornado that went through your area was NW to SE, wasn't it?

Yep. The supercell was moving east at 60 mph when just before it merged with the MCC made a right turn (banked towards the SE) and the entire MCC moved from NW to SE ...
