Tornado,DeLand,Florida: Photos I Took Very Close to Home

It's trite but it's true: Pictures just cannot capture the impression of walking through the devastation in person.

Tornado, DeLand, Florida: Pictures I Took This Morning

These were taken within half a mile from home today. Most of the roads are open now after being closed for a couple of days after the tornado.

It's worth clicking on the pictures of the bicycle and the chandelier for an enlarged view, even though it takes awhile to show up.

The ABC store, Sonny's Barbeque, and Mi Mexico still stand! Damage is to the exteriors and not the structures . . . although the businesses haven't reopened yet.
