The Tornado: A Month Later

I drove through the neighborhood where I took pictures after the tornado damage several weeks ago. A lot of clean up has been done. There aren't trees lying in most yards any more. Roofs are being worked on. But there is still a lot of damage and unlivable houses. It's easy to forget how long the clean up can last after a natural disaster (when was the last time you saw pictures from the tsunami in Japan or even the earthquake in Haiti?). Months (even years) later, lives are still effected. Sometimes we just need those reminders.
