7. That's breathtaking but not in a good way

It seems very strange to me that the debris seems to be on the original site in so many places. I would think it would be blown away, leaving the site bare. A lot of those photos look like everything was blown away leaving the sites bare, yet others look like everything was just mangles and shredded and left there.

4. Amazing. One of the doctors was on tv talking about the injuries, and said a great many of them

were people that had been impaled by flying debris.

6. That's really scary

If this is an example of climate change that may become the norm, this is very scary.
