More Tornado Pictures

This first picture is really awesome. This is the Chapman tornado. I do not know who took it but WOW is all I can say. Then to my dismay I found out that it was a doctored photo. The buildings really do belong to the Coop in Chapman but someone added the tornado.

The other pictures were taken by a faculty member of campus. He reported for work on Thursday with the rest of the faculty, took pictures, helped with clean up and then went home to do his own clean up as he lost his whole house.

Good friends from El Paso now live in Chapman, and they were very lucky and the tornado missed their house. A co-worker's house was affected by the tornado only in an odd way. The house shifted on the foundation but because of the lack of structural integrity it's pretty much a total.

In Manhattan, 31 houses were destroyed and 50 houses had major damage. This last Tuesday we had a bad lightning storm and several houses were hit with major damage. One home was left standing amidst many tornado destroyed homes only to be hit by the lightning and destroyed. Weather is such a freaky thing.
