Nature can be so cruel sometimes...so sad to see the damage of homes and of irreplaceble trees. You get tornados that way and we get hurricanes here...but not too often...nice album!!! Lorraine

What a terrifying ordeal. I lived in Oklahoma from 1981 to 1983 and went through many tornado warnings, luckily didn't experience one first hand. However, I did go through Hurricane Andrew in Miami in 1992! Tomas

Hi June, I was just stopping by to thank you for all your nice notes on my photos when I found this album. I didn't realize that you had been through all this. What a tragedy for the people in your area! I hope that the area is recovering and that people are starting to put their lives back together! Blessings to you, Lynn

said lynncb7 2008.06.18 at 18:43:27 PDT

Hello June, Your album is a good report of the damage a tornado can cause. The power of the tornado is enormous and on the other hand I think the wooden houses are not built very firmly, especially the mobil homes. It is a terrible tragedy causing 3 deaths. Lets hope nature keeps calm for a long long while... Greetz, Tjebbe

said oomt 2008.06.10 at 09:49:17 PDT

wow great shots of this terrible event, tornadoes are so awful, thank god I no longer live in tornado country, was in a few as a child but no more, we only have earthquakes here in Seattle

said busterrr19_ 2008.06.06 at 09:59:59 PDT

June ... what a stunning and sobering series of images!! You've done a beautiful job of photographing these ... really brings the power of Mother Nature home to us!!! I'm so glad YOU were okay! Thank you so much for sharing, and again, congratz on your feature!!! Big hugs ... Lois

said gloridays 2008.06.06 at 06:09:17 PDT

Hi Judy, these photos are so interesting and so terrible. It just makes you sick to think of how lives are effected by this sort of thing. Thanks for taking the photos. Take care, Carol Jean

said lovethemsteiff 2008.05.22 at 17:35:43 PDT

Dear June, What amazing photos of this horrible tornado.So much destruction, so much heartbreak! We only know of them here where I live from the news, but when I see all the destruction that happens in such a short period it always makes me realize the power of such a storm and how terrifying it must be to go through. I am very happy to learn you and the kitties were untouched and safe from this storm. Great reporting June! Stay safe, hugs for you and the girls! Leslie

said rainingviolets 2008.05.14 at 05:55:44 PDT

I hope you don't see many more of these again! Awesome power in tornados. Thank you for sharing these and reminding us how fragile life is. Muchas gracias June for your good wishes on my featured 'girls' photo, much appreciated. Lorraine

Hi June, The storms just keep on coming. We had tornado warnings up here in Western Michigan last night - I think from the storms starting in Texas and moving up through Arkansas and north. We did not get the promised hail and 70 MPH winds though - it must have fizzled out. This has been a strange spring so far. - DeeAnne :)

said missdee101 2008.05.03 at 18:22:30 PDT

I hope and pray that you did not loose any of your property. Most people forget about God and living during this time of need. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. It takes a long time to get over the tradgey that goes with this type of damage.

said jwm04 2008.05.01 at 15:20:46 PDT

A good photographic record of a very sad event. Thank you, June, for visiting my featured wisteria photo in "Flowers 2005." By the way, I was a long-time resident of East Tennessee. What a beautiful state and how tragic to see the destruction caused by the tornado.

said dantraylor2 2008.04.28 at 18:19:19 PDT

Hi June, again I have opportunity to see your fine photos showing such huge devastation. Your photos are excellent example "Power of Nature" is unpredictable! Impressive coverage-thanks for sharing these photos. Thank you for visiting featured sunrise on Nile River photo. Friendly greetings, Rafal

said komierowski 2008.04.20 at 17:28:41 PDT

Great coverage on your part here June. I heard about that 'monster' when it hit and thought it freakish to occur so early in the year. However with Global Warming, anything is possible. I hope your home wasn't affected by the tragedy and am glad you escaped harm. You did some decent photojournalism of the aftermath. Regards from Ron

said ronchi120 2008.04.16 at 22:10:05 PDT

June this is such a sad album. It is as devastating as the feeling after our bushfires. Great photojournalism.. regards Susan

said poppy1812 2008.04.12 at 03:09:02 PDT

This is a very sobering album. Living in AL, this is all too familiar. Your pictures prove that tornadoes do not only hit trailer parks...Thanks for sharing.

said DeniseMichard 2008.04.09 at 17:32:27 PDT

Hi June, Thank you for sharing these sobering pictures of Mother Nature's terrifying destructive potential. To think that all this occurred in the space of about 20 minutes! Good to know that your property suffered no damage, but it must have been very frightening. When we experienced the Great Storm of 1987, it sounded as if fists were outside pummelling the window glass and I remember feeling afraid, but it was not until the next morning, when we discovered fences blown over and trees uprooted, that we realized that what we had been experiencing had been a hurricane! The Met Office has failed to predict it, believing that its path would take it away over the sea, so avoiding the land, but it was not to be! Hugs, Kathryn

said kathjones100 2008.04.07 at 21:49:21 PDT

Wow. How terrible. So many folks tell me how afraid they are of the idea of earthquakes in California. Tornado and hurricane seasons seem a lot more frightening to me (unless I'm on a traffic jam going over the Bay Bridge and happen to think bad thoughts.) Every place we live has its benefits and risks. Thank you for sharing these pictures.

said montecore827 2008.04.07 at 21:29:47 PDT

Hi June, your album makes a great piece of photojournalism with these graphic shots. I trust you were not too close to the action, and came through unscathed. While I'm here, thanks for visiting my featured album, Street Photos, and for leaving a comment, it is appreciated. Best wishes from Keith.

said magikeith 2008.04.01 at 16:32:41 PDT

Hi June, I'd a bit time to see this album...I did'nt do it before because I knew how sad it would be. It's terrifying to see how nature forces can demage...it's really sad..God thanks you're safe dear June. How are all the family now? God bless you all...how did you manage this time? I can't imagine to manage a storm like this...thank you June for sharing these pictures...take care,Rosy

said pitcontrol 2008.03.25 at 16:37:24 PDT

Hi June: Wow, that was some storm. Thanks for sharing. How close were you? We've had tornados up here, but I think they were F1, not a very bad type. It is so sad to see a family's home destroyed. Jerry

said walterjw 2008.03.24 at 18:54:39 PDT

Oh my,......I can't imagine having to deal with such a tremendous storm! The damage certainly demonstrates the shear power of mother nature! My heart goes out to those who didn't survive the wind storm. Thank you for sharing your amazing story telling photos! Sincerely, Sandy

said islandlady1540 2008.03.21 at 08:05:22 PDT

Oh, dearest June, you did a very interesting document of such a sad situation. You had certainly your eyes the whole time wet when you did the pictures.Hope the poor people are all recovered of those terrible moments. And hoping, never again will happen something like that again. After visiting this album, i need to go on searching for some flowers in another album of yours. By, by, for a while, hugs, Evi

said fuij 2008.03.08 at 01:54:57 PST

This is so sad. You took some good shots to show us how horrifying it must have been. Were you and yours okay? I sure hope so. We used to live in Indiana and went through Tornado warnings, always opened the windows, I believe it was the opposite site from were the winds came from. we had a crawl space and sort crawled into a heaveyly cemented area were we could sit on some boards and had some water to drink with us. It's about forty years ago that we moved away, but it's not forgotten. We had no cats at the time, but read to watch the cats, because they figure out, where it is safest for them. Have you observed that too?

said marionw104102 2008.03.07 at 21:24:53 PST

This is a very sad album June, you have reported the devastation very well. Did you live through this storm yourself? I am lucky that we don't have tornados in Finland. It must be a scary thing to look forward to, I am sure you are being alerted beforehand but does everybody always get the information or be able to take shelter.. I am so sorry for all that has happened there. Merike

said lovejoy485 2008.03.07 at 09:16:45 PST

Oh June! This album makes every hair on the back of my neck stand straight up...how horrible...! There is just nothing as quick and devastating as a tornado, no warning...Can't tell you how many times we go under the staircase to hide, since we have no basements in this part of Texas (swampland). I am so sorry to see this...you must be devastated emotionally by seing this in person too! Everything o.k. at your place, how about the kitties! I just saw evi's album dedicated to you and wanted to stop and say hello and also tell you thank you so much for your recent visits! God Bless! marita

said worldtripper3 2008.03.06 at 15:19:37 PST

Wow. I haven't been that close to tornado damage in more than 30 years. Tornados are an awesome force, but they leave so much devistation. I hope you, your family and friends are all safe.

Hello June, I just watched the slide show and you made a great reportage from that tornado. I am used to strong storms but that must be awful to go through. I hope that you had no damage.

Hello June,we are so happy that you are OK.Looking at those vivid photos it is a wonder that more people weren't hurt.We did see some pictures on our news but these photos show just how damaging and frightening that storm must have been.Nature can be so cruel at times.Terrifying.We have friends visiting their daughter in Tennessee but to date we haven't heard how they were affected in the storm.Hugs,Bev and Del.

said AKaurora 2008.03.01 at 15:25:14 PST

We heard about it, and saw picture on the news . We were praying for everyone after the storm. The story about the little baby boy who was found alive, the next day was so touching, but sad that his Mom didn't survive. I hope you and the kitties are ok. I have been doing a lot of babysitting lately, and I have not had much time for the computer. Take Care, Sandie

said zzandra107 2008.03.01 at 10:06:31 PST

Hi June! This is so terrible...There has never been a twister in Slovenia, but I am so afraid of this things. I sometimes dream of this monsters..I hope all of your family and friends are fine. Pictures are very good. It is like watching a documentary. Thank you for sharing. Take care & hugs, Saya

said ykarelic4 2008.02.25 at 21:57:22 PST

Always hate to hear about tornadic damage. I was 9 yrs. old and lived in Ohio when the tornados his Xenia in April of that year. I will never forget it. The local firestation (two blocks over) was going off about every 2 minutes, all day long. The sky was a sickly shade of green all day long, and we watched from out basement window as a twister went overhead. It looks exactly like the old commercial we used to see advertising some product or another; a big white mass of twisting, churning clouds rotating around and around and around as it moves away and only turns grey/black if it touches down and picks up debris. Although I didn't live in Xenia, I will remember that day for as long as I live. Thanks for sharing these photos. I think sometimes people don't realize the destruction they cause.

said nanna505 2008.02.25 at 17:57:50 PST

It is heartbreaking to see this damage and also to know that folks lost their lives in this series of storms. Your photos are very good - depicting the damage. - Regards from Michigan, DeeAnne

Hi June, boy what amazing photos. It must be a horrible experience to go thru one of these events. I hope you and yours were not harmed in any way. I wonder why people don't build homes that are more bunkerlike. I think that after one or two of these, I'd have a nice roof and siding, but underneith would be good ol cement. Thank you also for your kind words on my Storm album. It was exciting, but kid stuff compared what you went thru. Keep yur head down and stay safe...Rick

said supercrans100 2008.02.24 at 12:02:30 PST

All I can say is "Oh, my gosh" This must have been terrible. It's one thing to see it on tv but to see the photos is unreal. I can't imagine what it would be like to be around or in one of these. Thank you for sharing these photos. It really Hits home to see these. Very well done.

said luckie2 2008.02.24 at 10:29:47 PST

June, thanks so much for sharing these pictures of that terrible tornado that ravaged your area a few weeks ago. It's just awful to see the devastation that nature can do to us.
