Survivor

The is the home of the Mother-In-Law of one of my co-workers. This picture was taken in November after several thousands of dollars were spent placing siding on this quant home. The owner of this humble abode is 92 years old.
She's a survivor.
She survived last Tuesday's deadly tornado. She was taken from her home and tossed about landing about 100 yards behind the shed to the left. She has a broken shoulder blade, both legs are broken, a very deep laceration that will require skin grafts, and broken vertebrae. There is no place on her broken and battered body that you cannot see or touch that isn't scraped, cut, scratched or bruised.
Notice the railing in the front porch in the picture above.
Now look at the pic below.
It's the only thing left.

The kitchen

The den. Front view (porch)
These are appliances.
Another view of the kitchen.
The last word that I heard at work were that the doctors were guardedly hopeful that she will make a full recovery. Pray for Ms. Ona, her family, and her caregivers.
