Life Changes In An Instant

Every region has it's difficulties with mother nature.  Fires, floods, hurricanes, avalanches, tornadoes, sink holes, etc, etc, etc.  In SoCal our particular hell are fires.  They can be devastating.  Pretty scary. Another one of those natural disasters that changes life in an instant is a tornado.  We don't see these in SoCal and every time one hits and does extensive damage it is heartbreaking.  Like everyone I've seen the photos and listened to the stories.  But this aerial photo of the swath of the tornado really tells the story.  Imagine living in the path of this monster.  One minute life is pretty normal...and then life changes in an instant!
