Fifty years ago - May 2, 1929 - a tornado ripped through Rappahannock. Coming from the west, it followed a path around the base of Red Oak Mountain from Woodville. The tornado passed below Washington, near the junction of the Rush and Covington Rivers at the end of Route.674. Still at full force, it demolished homes and farm buildings around Rock Mills, Laurel Mills and Ben Venue as it passed across Long Mountain.
Four persons were killed.
