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. This is the Oak Lawn Public Library’s Flickr Photo Set of the Oak Lawn tornado. UPDATE: More photos of the twister were recently discovered, taken from the intersection of 87th Street and Cicero Avenue.
