Pictures of Tornado Damage - Jackson, TN 2003

Author:  Susan L. Prince

Here are some pictures of the damage in downtown Jackson, TN. There are more pictures here.
This is a picture of a semi overturned on the major through route, Highland Ave. in Jackson, TN.

Damage at a downtown store antique store called "Two Silly Sisters".

Damage to Mother Liberty Church downtown. This is a historical building in Jackson built by liberated slaves in the late 1800's. The front of the church you see here is the only wall left standing. If you walked in the door, you would end up right back outside. The pictures are so misleading because one only sees part of the picture. Because it is the front wall of the church, it can be rebuilt and still maintain its historical building status.

This is the Post Office. Again, a misleading picture. The building is destroyed, what you see is all that still stands until the wrecker crew gets there. Some may not be getting their mail today, or the next day, or the next....
