I really don't know what more can be said.

ETA: This photo gallery from the Des Moines Register is even more evocative.

wow!that's pretty scary

I don;t know if you heard this, but they actually interviewed someone from Oakville on NPR this morning

Was that the interview with the mayor? (Who went to our church -- I was startled to see her name.) Or is it a different one? I should go looking.

Pictures from ground level are starting to come out, and it's weird; everything looks much more familiar.
