House in Town
Only about 10 miles from home.
The entire neighborhood, as far as you can see.
Ouch!
Only one of hundreds.
Relatively minor comparatively.
Even the trees were decimated.
Metal strip tied like a pretzel on one of the only lines left standing.
There’s a car under there somewhere.
A depiction of how selective the storm was. One house stands while it’s neighboring house is swept away.
It’s hard to imagine that anyone was spared.
A bit of irony. This was laying on the side of street in front of a home that was decimated.
What can you say?
These people were home at the time. They survived.
This newsstand had to have flown several miles to have ended up in the neighborhood.
We walked through the neighborhood and talked to several survivors. Some were fortunate in that their house still stands, barely, while others lost everything. We were careful to not touch anything belonging to other people and we never left the street, staying off the personal property of others. We only took pictures. The pictures don’t do justice to the devastation.
