Thanks to ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Morgan Wheeler, and Joseph Salmi for these images. Morgan writes:

“Hey James,
I just got back from viewing the damage in Salem. I have never seen anything like it with my own eyes. Trees, and power lines were down. Homes destroyed. Live stock injured and killed. A school was destroyed, and all I could think about was if it had happened yesterday during school hours. There was also some cars that had been blown off the road. I wasn’t able to get into the heart of the community. Roads were blocked off, but from what I saw it was serious.”
