Tornados and Strong Winds Hit the Ozarks

I was home today and we got to give Peggy's cousin Melba a typical Ozarks experience. Two tornados touched down nearby and strong winds did some damage, including knocking down large trees. The huge tree next to Peggy's mom's apartment at Maranatha split down the middle. A short walk from our house, a neighbor's shed was lifted out of their yard and dropped over the fence ... a pile of rubble. A local high school had its roof ripped off (only minor injuries to students). I stopped at WalMart and found the main entrance closed for repairs:

Peggy was feeling some better the second day after her 8-hour chemo treatment. Went to Red Lobster with Melba and her mom after the weather calmed down.
