said this morning that I would post some pictures in this thread that I want to share with you. I’ve been driving around looking at the de e station except for the residential area where Thry we’re working.
This picture is not mine, but it is of some of the Mobile home park that was 95% destroyed. 2 people died here. A neighbors cousin is hospitalized with fractured ribs, a punctured Lung and a couple of other wounds. after a refrigerator and wall fell on him. A couple other family friends were also injured. One has a crushed vertebrae and doctors have given him a 1 in 50 chance of ever walking again. The other was in a truck with his son when a large tree came down and crushed the truck. His injuries were so severe he was in surgery for 7 hours and is in an induced coma in critical condition. The son had minor injuries.
These are my pictures of same park as close as we were allowed to go
This next group was taken in the back of our Hobby Lobby store. The back wall is blown out and a few trailers from a storage area were destroyed as well. The bottom picture is the front view of Hobby Lobby and adjoining stores.
This was an oil change place, across highway M-32, from the mall where Hobby Lobby is. . The staff took shelter below the floor and the building collapsed on top of them, requiring rescue
Damaged buildings across M-32 from from Hobby Lobby. Tbe tornado went across the highway heading northeast. If you look closely at the building to the right of Goodwill, youvwill see a piece of the roof from Goodwill embedded in the upper wall above the red stripe.
The tornado continued on past the boarded up buildings into the area of a lot of small shops and companies, turning it into a war zone wherevit. Passed through, uprooting huge trees and upending storage trailers, demolishing a few small shops before hitting the RV dealer that Beth mentioned.
From this point, it crossed I-75 and into residential neighborhoods, tbe which I have yet to get pictures.
