Well after spending the last 4days in the Orlando area golfing, i had a tee time about 30miles northeast of Orlando, im not sure if this is a sick habit or not and i hope there are more of you like me but i am fascinated by mother nature and her power to destroy things whether it be a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, ect.. Seeing i was only 30miles away from where the tornados took place i was off to see the damage. 20 people died from these storms, i didnt know what to expect 10 days later. What i saw was unreal, signs everywhere saying Looters will be shot on sight, people just standing there with nothing, i donated 20 dollars while i was there to the families. The destruction was only about 300-500 feet wide, so strange seeing 1 house gone and the guy next door with the house sitting there like nothing ever happened. I could not go down 90% of the streets as it was for homeowners only but here are some pics of what i saw, sorry i couldnt post them they were taken from my uncles camera and i have no idea how to shrink these images to fit the page...

You're not the only one fascinated by mother nature's destructive force.. Nice shots. I didn't even realize they had tornadoes in FL recently..
