10 Years Ago: Stoneville to mark anniversary of day the sky descended on it
STONEVILLE (Winston-Salem Journal) - Ten years ago today, a tornado barreled through the quiet town of Stoneville in western Rockingham County.
It roared through the modest downtown area, ripping apart buildings, killing two people and injuring more than 25.
The town had more than $5 million of damage, and several historic buildings were destroyed.
Today, there’s a park where one of those buildings stood, and throughout the town are photographs of the devastation.
The town has been rebuilt, but the tornado’s effects linger. Residents who lived through it say that the experience is one that they will always remember.
