We had a little taste of this kind of destruction here in Massachusetts last May and didn't like it. Many are still trying to recover. It seems too early in the year for this kind of weather.barbara l. halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251598050638810751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781891699445400020.post-78713364340023024522012-03-09T08:47:53.918-05:002012-03-09T08:47:53.918-05:00Such tragic, terrible scenes which bring the full ...Such tragic, terrible scenes which bring the full force of the tornadoes home to us in the UK who never see such destruction.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781891699445400020.post-83213687536876516582012-03-09T00:04:25.680-05:002012-03-09T00:04:25.680-05:00The distruction is unbelievable. thanks for sharin...The distruction is unbelievable. thanks for sharing these pictures.

It's so hard to believe the powerful force of nature and we, thankfully, don't have tornados here in N.B. We do have to deal with snow and flooding depending on the season but not the severity (or rarely) as these photos show. Thanks for visiting me. I'll check in on your blog again.

OMGosh...I can't imagine what it would be like to live through something like this! Your photo's are wonderful...I know it's probably not your favorite subject but I think it's important for the rest of us to see. We had the warnings and high wind and a few smaller tornadoes touched down not too far from us but we were safe and sound and untouched. The town of Henryville Kansas was hit very hard though. Last fall my sister in law and I traveled through Missouri and passed through the south of Joplin. We decided to see if we could see some of the devastation that had happened earlier that spring. We were shocked at what we saw. I did take photo's but I haven't posted them yet. A person needs to see this kind of thing to realize how important it is to take cover when the warnings are there. Thanks for posting this. I hope your day is a good one.<br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781891699445400020.post-21616542425144638712012-03-08T14:52:46.452-05:002012-03-08T14:52:46.452-05:00That is so sad...
