Lawrence County.
The following pictures show what was a well constructed 2 story brick house
located in northwestern Lawrence County. They were taken four days after
the tornado hit. Two people took refuge in the house's basement. They were
hospitalized for about a week from injuries they received.
The first picture shows that the foundation was wiped clean. The top of the
house is deposited on the bluff back behind the house. The floor was
sheared off the anchor bolts. The grass in the yard, which family members
told us could have be mowed prior to the tornado, has been scoured from the
ground. This can be seen along the driveway, in the left hand side of the
picture.
The second picture shows a small room that was in the rear of the garage.
Note how the linoleum flooring that was glued to the concrete has been
peeled off. Also note the scouring of the ground, and the random direction
the trees have been laid down on the hillside behind the house.
