Destroyed. . .

I was driving around near the tiny hamlet of Ebenezer today and witnessed some of the destruction from the gigantic tornado that rolled through Mississippi in April killing 10 people. Experts said the tornado was 1.5 miles wide and traveled on the ground for nearly 150 miles.
This picture is from west of Highway 433 and the destruction along the highway is almost 3/4 of a mile in length. There isn't a structure within 500 yards of this roof or wall or whatever is it, so it traveled quite a distance before coming to rest among some sheared off trees. Luckily this is a very rural area, otherwise the toll would have been higher.
