Tornado way too close to home.

I went out and looked at a little of the damage today. There is an open field between my house and where the tornado did the most damage. We had a little insulation and other minor debris in the back yard. if you look from the destroyed houses back to my house the field is littered with insulation, wood, siding..... so assuming the tornado took a nearly straight path, it passed withing 100-200 yards of our house.

I didnt go into the subdivision that was hit but took these pictures from the road on my bike this morning. They were taken between 1/4 and 1/3 of a mile from my front door. There is a lot of damage that cant be seen in the pictures further in the subdivision. It goes in at least another 1/2 a mile. Thank God no one was killed.

There is at least one house totally missing except for about an 8' square section of wall. It is right in the center of the pictures.
