Tornado Damage Sanford, NC

Howdee all,

We drove thru parts of Sanford, NC yesterday looking at the tornado damage, from the storm on Saturday the 16th.  Sanford is the next town over from where we are in Carthage..

Many roads were closed.

All photos were taken as we drove by the areas.

The photos speak for themselves..

Below is the Lowes Store…LowesLowes…no lives lost in the store…unbelievable.

Lowes..

A few streets west and a bit south of Lowes…

See the Jacuzzi tub below in the front yard..

That’s a tractor trailer truck overturned in the backyard…

When I see that I think of our Homey…

The below video is from a link below..This guy should not have stayed in his car…He was lucky the tornado did not head directly at him.
