CNN has a handful of “before and after” satellite photos showing the destruction wrought a few days ago in the Kentucky region. Some of the destruction is straight out of Tornado Cliche Central, like lightly constructed farm outbuildings turned into confetti; others are more interesting, such as a heavily built courthouse largely trashed and an Amazon warehouse ripped in half while two identically built nearby buildings seem intact.

I know… CNN has something newsworthy? Shocking!
