2008 favorites: spot news

Obviously, I'll have another post later to deal with my favorite flood photos. The photo below is from day-after coverage of a tornado that struck Hazleton in May. I like how the woman almost gets lost amidst all the debris.


Imogene Pirillo of Oelwein sits outside the rural Hazleton, Iowa home of her granddaughter Ryan Dettbarn on Monday, May 26, 2008, the day after the house was damaged in a tornado that ripped across eastern Iowa. Dettbarn had moved into the house with her husband Dustin two weeks earlier, and they were working on refinishing it.
