Tornado disaster - dead MINI

I was reading CNN.com and stumbled upon this picture. I lived in Louisville, KY for 10 years prior to moving here in Colorado 2 years ago. I hope this was not one of our own NAMers. Still disheartening to see all the damage regardless....

Makes me sad to see a MINI like that, but it makes me even more sad that somebody is going thru all that no matter what they drive!!

on a side note: it looks like the cooper held up decently on account it was hit by a freaking Tornado!

My cousin lives in southern Indiana, not too far from where the full force of it came through. They found baseball sized hail in their yard, saw a picture of it and I could not believe that came from the sky. Sad day for that region.

I'm praying that the owner is still with us and takes his/her car to the nearest 24 Hours of Lemons to race it!
