JOURNEY OF REBUILDING THEIR LIFE

Van, TX

This man and his wife were taking things out of their house that wasn't damaged and cleaning up some, like so many others in the area. His house was the on the edge of where the tornado came through. The house next door is not there anymore. Then one block down from him, no damage that you could see. It is funny how a tornado can destroy one thing completely and only a few hundred feet away, nothing seems touched. This man will have to rebuild his house. There's not much left on the back.

Canon EOS 7D

It must be terrifying to experience it Cindi. Hopefully your home was not touched by the typhoon.

So, so sad. I have been watching the news on TV. And quite a lot of lives were lost in the floods too

There is no fighting nature...it will win always. Such a sad time for many, Cindi.

Had to click on this one to see the story behind the pic. Very sad story and my heart goes out to all these poor people.

Really pulls at the heart - we hear it in the news now you've put a face and emotions to that.
