Herb's, K5AIC, house again. He was very lucky. No injuries and not an as much damage as some of his neighbors.
Herb's neighbor in Baldwyn. These homes are located on the west side of Hwy. 145 in Baldwyn, across the street from Baldwyn High School.
This car was caught in the tornado at Birmingham Ridge Road. It was in the parking lot of Whitetail Ridge Shooting Center. It almost became scrap metal.

Notice the tire marks in the gravel. The car was spun around and only lacked about 10 feet to falling off a steep embankment.

Whitetail Ridge Shooting Ridge owned by Dick and Connie Holloway. Dick is licensed as N5IPI and Connie is also licensed.

This is the north side of the locker room facility.

Yes, this building is totaled..... along with most of the rest of the facility.

Another picture of the skeet and trap fields at WTRSC. Notice the tornado's path as it left a 200 yard wide path of scrap.

The building is destroyed.

Another photo of the damage at Whitetail Ridge Shooting Center.

As you can tell, the damage is extensive.

Inside WTRSC, There is no roof above you. The only thing above you is the hanging grade holding a few ceiling tiles.

Pretty much totaled.

Roofing sheets in trees by WTRSC Clubhouse.

Notice the material is wrapped around the limbs and are wrapped in different directions.

More debris scattered about.

There were 2 x 4's stuck up in the field. Some of the wood was stuck up in one direction, others in the opposite direction.

There was a trailer that was on the west side of the locker room facility that was picked up and set down on the edge of the skeet field.

Lets remember all those that lost their lives . Buildings can be replaced, lives can't.

God bless those that lost loved ones.
