The photographer that made this photo was on top of our Jackie’s Hardware building. The camera was faced to the northeast, the day after the tornado. Uncle Ed Jones took this picture and his daughter Mrs. Melba (Pete) Wilson gave it to me some forty years ago. They lived to the south of my house and were real good neighbors. Uncle Ed Jones was not related to my mother who was a daughter of Noah Jones and the Jones family that lived east of Aubrey on the now Hwy 1385.
