I had an apartment at 71st and Riverside.
I had an apartment at 71st and Riverside.
The twister crossed over Riverside Drive at about the south end of the Sand Dollar Apartments. The entrance of the apartment is on 61st Street but it extends all the way back to 64th Street... and it blew down a fence in a sort of vacant area at the very south end of those apartments, and kept on going through that neighborhood to the east.
I said, earlier, that it looked like it was going ENE, but now that I look at the map, it appears that at that spot it might have been going more NE as it crossed Riverside.
But once it got about a block north of 64th St. it appears to have almost gone straight East across Peoria and and started slanting more, once again, to a slightly northerly direction as it started heading over to 61st and S. Lewis. That Christian Academy School (a pretty big school) was closed today because of damage to the roof, so either it was on the edge of the twister or it went over it. I don't know.
