Parts of Southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee were slammed by violent storms Tuesday afternoon. The Duffield area was hammered by an EF1 tornado shortly after 5:30 p.m., with trees and debris blocking several roads. Traffic was stopped for an extended period on southbound U.S. 23 immediately south of the Duffield intersection. JEFF LESTER PHOTO

Don’t forget: Southbound traffic on U.S. 23 between Norton and Big Stone Gap can face delays of up to 15 minutes at a time, several times a day, through late July or early August because of a rockfall protection project. One mile of the southbound lane will be closed during the project. The easiest way to avoid getting stuck in traffic is to turn left onto Route 610, Powell Valley Road, before reaching the valley overlook, then travel through the valley to the first Big Stone Gap U.S. 23 on-ramp.
