Their infant son was lost. It was pitch black and raining and the house was gone and they didn't even have flashlights. They searched for a half hour and finally heard a noise. He and his neighbor somehow lifted sections of walls and roofs 100 yards from where the house once stood and found the infant on the ground beneath the huge pile, under his crib, unhurt.
2nd foto is the missile damage to the other house and vehicles.

Wow, now the financial importance diminished slightly, imagine looking in pitch black, in chaos for your lost infant.....
These houses does not really look like trailers? Perhaps not as sturdy as the house we have in Sweden since they need to be sturdy to handle the winters (or the winters we used to have), but still.....
Do you know what was the strength of this tornado was?
btw. thanks guys for the feedback, interesting!
