I took about 100 photos of what use to be my brothers house after a tornado hit it in Lee County. These are just some examples of the destruction. It picked it up and carried it about 150 yards and dropped it in the road. Him his wife, stepson and little dog where inside. The photos shows were it was and were it landed. The pile by the road is what’s left of their house. My brother and his wife have only cuts and bruises, their son has more severe injuries. He is in the hospital and expected to recover. Note the steel beams from his house wrapped around the tree.
