Tornado cleanup today - Washington, IL (pics)

Today was the biggest cleanup day so far. My son and I got out and helped, and it was emotionally overwhelming. Homeowners were told they have to clear their lots of debris on their own so they are relying on volunteers. We worked at one home that, when we were finished, had nothing left but the fireplace.








And finally, at our first house, the juxtaposition of the "OK" and the 2x4 piercing the house like a spear was quite a sight.


From inside once the 2x4 was removed.
