I can't believe it's been 30 years ago May 31st 1985 the Super Outbreak of 85 hit from Ohio, to Pa to NY. I was in the mall just down the road when the plaza photo shot was taken. I remember the power going out and someone shouted that there was a tornado across the street.
The other photo was another plaza about two miles down the road and my sister was supposed be at the skating rink which was behind the rubble you see.... if the tornado would have been an hour later.

Heck I was a sophomore in High School. Damn how time flies.
