Closeup Tornado pictures at Little Sioux Scout Ranch

I received these photos in an email and thought I would pass them along. The first tornado picture has to be one of the most impressive tornado pictures I have ever seen. Lori Mehmen of Orchard Iowa took the photo from outside her front door. The funnel cloud came close to the ground and then suddenly went back up into the clouds. "Mason City Globe Gazette" No injuries were reported from that occurrence. The remaining photos show the devastating remains from the Tornado that killed 4 Boy Scouts at the Little Sioux Scout Ranch near Little Sioux, Iowa Wednesday night.
I personally would never have the guts to get this close to a twister and this one looks like it would definitely take anything in it's path.

Picture of the devastation to the Little Sioux Scout shelter:
50+/- Scouts and leaders were in this building when the tornado hit.
Here is another viewpoint. Notice the big chunks of chimney scattered about.
The next couple of shots show the Park Rangers home which was also demolished in this storm by the tornado.
Let our hearts go out to the families of the Scouts who's lives were claimed by this tornado.
