How is the area west of St Francis Hospital and the Warren Clinic?
I didn't go that far West to look it over... I went from the Arkansas River, where the tornado crossed the river, and then out East, to Southern Hill Country Club at S. Lewis.
The family got tired of driving around after a while ... :-) ... we were winding in and out and around on side streets ...
If I get back out and go there, I'll post it here.
How is the area west of St Francis Hospital and the Warren Clinic?
Okay, I just got back from checking out that area. People really are getting "on it" pretty fast and cleaning up the area. In many places, even as I went out earlier today and looked around, there were many who had already gathered their debris and tree limbs and trees and had already cut it up and stacked it all ... LOL ... boy some people work fast to clean it up.
But, let me tell you, there are all sorts of "cleanup businesses" and tree services all through those neighborhoods doing all sorts of cleanup right now. They're not wasting any time. In fact, in another day or two, except for major house damage and uprooted big trees, you might not be able to tell anymore that a tornado went through. People are cleaning up that fast.
In the area where I've been there are no houses blown apart but there are houses that are severely damaged by trees going onto them.
But, in regards to the Warren Clinic. I really did not even know where that was, but as I was making my way through the neighborhood area, I saw it (and it sorta surprised me, because I wasn't expecting it). And from the area of damage that I saw next to the Warren clinic, I would say that the twister passed about (maybe) two blocks south of the Warren Clinic.
As I got over to Yale, it looked like the twister has gotten closer to 51st and was probably one block to the South of 51st (and that would have been the north edge of the twister, as it could have been one to two blocks wide (at least the damage path). So, it went across La Fortune Golf Course and into the neighborhood to the East of it.
From the map that I'm looking at, it almost seems that the twister was following Joe Creek after it passed Lewis (can't say that for sure, because the damage was in the residence areas, and not in the canal). But, it seems to have almost started going straight East from a point halfway between Lewis and Harvard, and continuing Eastward as it went through La Fortune Golf Course and then into the neighborhood to the east of that.
I didn't go much further than about halfway between Yale and Sheridan. It was difficult trying to find the pathway, because (of course) the twister doesn't follow roads and it goes into between blocks a lot and thus, you have to do a whole lot of "winding around" in the neighborhoods to see where it went. But, you can definitely see it, without a doubt.
