You just can&#8217;t comprehend the devastation until you see it up close and personal.<\/p>\n<p>We took the pictures below on the west side of I-81. Unfortunately, we weren&#8217;t able to get clear pictures of the east side. Over there a huge truck stop had been destroyed along with many of the 18-wheelers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NRA-2011-Pittsburgh-032.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NRA-2011-Pittsburgh-032.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NRA-2011-Pittsburgh-036.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NRA-2011-Pittsburgh-036.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nThe Bristol Courier Herald has survivors&#8217; stories <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.tricities.com\/news\/2011\/may\/01\/stories-survival-glade-spring-tornado-ar-1008399\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> along with more on this storm <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.tricities.com\/news\/2011\/apr\/29\/glade-spring-va-begins-picking-pieces-ar-1004570\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On our way home from the NRA Annual Meeting we passed through Glade Spring, VA on Interstate 81.
