Ruin, Relief and Rebuilding
Now-official twister damaged 67 houses in city subdivision
By Matt Tullis and Mark Ferenchik
About 40 people gathered last night at Quest Community Church, across from a Northeast Side neighborhood that was clobbered by a tornado Wednesday night.
They weren’t complaining of the mounds of debris they now must clean up. They weren’t angry that police kept them from returning to their homes until hours after the storm hit. In fact, no one in the audience had a gripe.
Instead, they seemed content to be alive.

Story By Matt Tullis
A warning came across the TV as Heather Irvine cleaned up after a taco dinner: Dangerous storms were on the way. Outside, tornado sirens blared, just as they had one week earlier in her Northeast Side neighborhood. Nothing had happened then, and Irvine figured nothing would happen now. Her husband, Steve had gone to visit a neighbor in their Upper Albany West neighborhood, but first had opened a window in the family room. He liked the breeze blowing through the house, especially on an unusually warm fall day such as that one Oct. 11. But the sound of the gusting wind alarmed Heather, so she went to shut the window. That’s when she saw dirt and mulch flying in circles outside. The wind growled louder and louder.
