Description
Sorry I haven't been around; I've been cleaning up after a tornado hit my 83 year old mother's neighborhood.
The top photo was taken 90 minutes after the tornado, the bottom photo was taken 18 days later.
(You can see branches and tree stumps piled near the road still awaiting pickup.)
There is still a lot to be done and clean up is moving steady. Mom lost 9 trees. No one in this neighborhood was hurt but a few houses need to be torn down.
Thank you for the nice messages of concern, I'm ok and so is Mom. :)

Ooh dear, what a mess you have to get cleaned up. I'm glad you or your Mum weren't hurt but how heartbreaking to lose 9 trees, all that growing gone. These are great captures of the devestation and I feel for the people who have lost their homes too.

Something to be grateful .. that you are all safe, and that no one was hurt. It's tragic to lose a home .. but devastating to lose a loved one. Clean up takes forever it seems.

Fantastic captures, Barb. Also a bit scary. Glad to see the houses still stand. Nature can really be violent. I'm happy to hear your mom did not get slammed personally. But it is a scary incident for an old woman.
