Parkersburg Tornado

This just frightens me. Before the interstate, as a child we would drive through Parkersburg to go up to see my Grandma in Osage. I remember a little corner store and a gas station we used to stop at.

This is an aerial view of the destruction of the tornado that went through Parkersburg.

The tornado destroyed the High School.

I did this post mainly for my cousin Clare, out in California, because she is still an Iowan at heart and knows this area. Anyway, this little town is in my prayers!
