Here are some pictures of the damage at my Grandparent's house (Nonnie and D). The branch on the left was shoved into the paneling of the garage. Below is my Grandpa with his chainsaw...
...he loves that thing
We had 2 huge piles of branches and foliage from the oak tree in their side yard (and 2 more for their front lawn). Paul and I are so hard core!
My Grandma Nonnie is smiling because we got her hammock down in one piece. It was twisted up in that giant oak (which snapped at the top during the tornado). Their side yard doesn't look too bad in these pictures, but it was pretty grim when Paul and I first came over in the morning.
These are mostly images from their side lawn. The front had fragments of trees blown over from somewhere else in their neighborhood. Both lawns were covered in insulation, shingles, not to mention bits of cars' headlights, a twisted sheet of metal, photographs, paper, books, etc. (we even found a 4-H ribbon from 1989, a stuffed animal and a rosary). There wasn't any noticeable damage to the house (besides the branch stuck through the garage), but the whole block probably lost about 7 trees, a few were pulled right out of the ground. Our house didn't have any damage and my other grandma's house, which is about a block away from Nonnie and D's, only had small branches, leaves, and small pieces of garbage on the lawn. We were lucky that nothing worse happened.
