I finished up a photo for a client yesterday. This is a small part of the image. It is a small chunk of the damage from the BIG tornado that hit Oklahoma City on May 3th, 1999. That tornado is the one that had 300 MPH winds.
Anyway this photo shows the clear path of destruction. The amazing part is that as bad as the destruction is just a block away the houses are OK. The grass was pulled from the ground in places. Some houses were reduced to clean concrete foundations. I watched it on the news from my house and we never lost electricity. We knew exactly where the tornado was at all times so we knew we were safe. This was 13 miles almost straight south of my house.
This was shot two days after the tornado.
