Tornado pictures

We visited our friends, Rick and Angie Friday night at their tornado damaged house. They were continuing clean up. Nathan joined them again on Saturday. They have made a lot of progress, but still have a lot to do. With their permission, I took some pictures. This is/was the front of their house....you can see a portion of the exterior walls leaning over...those were the boys' rooms and the rest of the house was living room/kitchen--which was blown away.The fireplace was left standing. So was the entertainment center. The wall the entertainment center is against is the bathroom wall. The pile to the left is the hallway to the bedrooms and right blow the leaning door, is a piano, under the blue tarp--which is hanging on the basement stairs. It was recovered Saturday and appears to be in fair condition.This is the North side of the house....you can see the red basement door--where the family emerged to see walls hanging over them. To the left is part of the roof from their garage...the rest of the roof was blown away.
This is also the North side of the house....this car was parked in the garage .....just in front of this car is the garage roof and basement door.
This is the back side of the house....on the back "yard". All this in just a matter of seconds.....
Cody, Trevor, Calvin and Jacob at their house....they have a blast together. Four boys makes for a lot of onerieness!!
