Description |
This is a photograph, developed as a slide, of the damages after the 1967 Oak Lawn tornado. The color image, taken in an unidentifed neighborhood, shows two heavily damaged homes. The white frame house on the left side of the photo has sustained roof loss and appears to have been taken off the foundation. A lamp and a lampshade can be seen in the front yard of this home. On the right, the gray frame home has sustained window and door damage as well as some roof loss. The chain link fence in the foreground is mangled. |
