On the ground in front of this
minivan you can see where a
tree had been growing. The
tornado ripped it from the
ground. The tree flew over the
minivan and landed in the next
block as seen in the far right
photo. The landing spot is next
to the person seen in the photo
on the left. It was quite a
distance when seen in person!
