Extraordinary pics.
The amazing thing about that tornado was that the death toll was not in the hundreds. Twenty people died. Regrettable loss, to be sure, but much less than it could have been with that much destruction. The tornado actually changed the course of the city’s growth. Prior to the tornado, the city was growing eastward. The tornado did most of it’s damage in downtown and the eastern part of the city. The city changed the direction of it’s growth from that point forward.
