Photos of the Oak Lawn Tornado

Below are a few photos from my personal colection in the few days after the twister struck. In addition, please go to this site and select ‘tornado’ in the subject box. This is the Oak Lawn Public Library’s online database of photos, which contains hundreds of photographs of the aftermath of the tornado.
