Tornado damaged my old neighborhood




I drove to Gastonia on Sunday for Mother's Day. The tornado that hit last Friday tore right through the Gardner Park neighborhood where I used to live before I moved to Shelby. This picture was taken two streets over from my former residence. It's an uprooted tree that pulled up a third of someone's yard. There was damage to homes and trees in the neighborhood. Off I-85 heading toward Belmont, there is a wooded area where the tops of at least a dozen trees were literally cut off.
