Click each thumbnail pic to view large one. Below each large photo is a caption describing the photo. There is also a news video from WKRN Nashville from Wed. Apr. 26, 2006 here (opens in new window). View of shipping center Interior warehouse wall. Entry to office. Didn't go far. Facing SSE from front door of shop (I think) You're looking at a ROOT from the felled tree, and the rut it caused when it came up. Looking NE at the rest of the same white barn. I told you it was big. Houseboat hull, upside down. Shingle from (a) house. Please replace your divots. More divots. Our house Our house, facing NEE. View of shop The famous cop car. I shot the photo from where the car had been parked. "Yes sir, we're rotating the tires and giving her a lube job right now." Did you notice the hood is missing? A week later, some volunteers told us that they found "a black car hood" half a mile away behind the school. bottom center of photo shows shelf of shipping boxes. To the left is the laid-flat West exterior wall (street side). Camera is facing ~ East This section of wall was perpendicular to the base of wall you see at the bottom of the pic. The wall would have been to your left, and higher than your head where it broke off. Curved part is where it met the curved ceiling (10' high at peak). This piece of wall is probably about 4' x 10' Barbell from workout area in warehouse. I bent this, not the tornado (yeah, I wish!) View of warehouse from South wall. The wall at right divides warehouse from office Door to warehouse is out of pic to your left. Entry had concrete floor, then step up to carpeted floor. My photo notecards in foreground. Yellow cord is piece of Romex wire I used to power lighting display on two barns and the boat. This machine was parked to the left of that corner you see. The big block wall is the bottom half of the curved wall on the ground you saw in an earlier pic. This is to the left of the big wooden barn and boat mentioned earlier. 40' x 60' steel building, 20' peak. I can't tell the exact perspective or camera angle. Facing North. Large white barn mentioned before is to the right. Street to left. Looking NE from the big white barn (across its foundation). Flat thing in the center, just above middle, is the boat. The boat was parked off the pic to the right, but is now straight ahead, behind the pile of debris. Big white barn to the right and back of boat. The tornado didn't only remove shingles, it shredded them. The circle is a quarter from my pocket. Most shingles were reduced to a similar size. Hard to tell, but this is a divot in the ground. Something big and heavy hit the ground here and became airborne again. These divots are all over. It is said that most tornado deaths occur from persons being struck by flying debris. Sizes varied from small and shallow, to small and very deep (several inches), to large and shallow and large and very deep. Sorry, the photos just don't show the reality very well. Facing N. Roof missing off 2nd floor. Telephone pole is missing top ten feet. Dang. No cable TV tonight. It was ripped off the house. Note tree at left of house. It was some 30-40 feet tall. Damage doesn't appear to be too bad from this angle. from across street from house. Facing SE. Entrance to shop is at the right of building. A witness saw the tornado flip this car. He said it did not just "flip" it over. He said the storm picked it up, turned it over, then dropped it. It was the most frightening thing he had ever seen, he said. Incidentally, this witness plays steel guitar on the Grand Ole Opry.
