I traveled around The Ville some more and it has been devastated. Yes, there was already a fair amount of abandonment and vacant lots, but what was intact and in good condition was damaged badly.

Sumner High School suffered extensive loss of its roof, as well as some windows, from what I understand. It was already facing low enrollment, and many students and their families worry about missing out on starting the school year there in August.

Many building were wood frame, and their destruction left piles of unrecognizable jumbles of broken boards and shingles.

One of the oldest houses in the area, which I think I could see in Compton and Dry, also suffered some damage. It had been sitting empty already when the tornado hit.
