The caption:
Debbie Loughridge's damaged home and car are seen among debris in Naplate, Illinois, on March 1, 2017. Loughridge and her son rode out the storm in the bathtub. "All I heard was the wind and the breaking glass. Like an explosion of glass," she said. In the small community of Naplate, next to Ottawa, about a quarter of the roughly 200 homes were damaged, Fire Chief John Nevins said.
No mention of that extraordinary blue water tower (I assume it's a water tower) looming in the background. How come that didn't blow down? That's quality construction there.
