Photojournalism: Lady Lake, Fla., tornado

Thelma Bowman looks down at her living room floor in the Lady Lake Mobile Home Park Wednesday afternoon. Loretta Schott, of Harbor Hills, Fla., hurried to her parents' house in the Lady Lake Mobile Home Park early Friday morning, right before the storm struck. Schott came to rescue her parents, Bowman and her husband, Lee, but the three of them ended up riding out the storm in the Bowmans' bathroom. Although the Bowmans' mobile home was destroyed, the couple plans to stay put; they already have purchased another mobile home.
