This is a slide of damage caused by the 1967 Oak Lawn tornado. The color image shows a red car and a black car, parked side by side on a driveway in a neighborhood decimated by the storm. The cars are crushed beneath the weight of bricks and concrete blocks and other debris. The little evergreen shrub in the foreground appears to be undamaged. |
