The path of the devastating series of twisters that swept Florida from Tampa to Cape Kennedy. A dramatic picture of millions of dollars of property damage amid which ten died and hundreds were injured. Total wreckage of homes and furnishings, cars are strewn about. In the background you see one house that is virtually untouched and another like the one we're looking at totally destroyed. A car or truck with its front and back ripped off. People looking what they can salvage in the remaining part of their house. A car which was hurled into a front yard, landing on its side by a palm tree. An empty lot where once a home stood, people in the background walking around. A man salvaging what he can from his once kitchen cabinets. A couple of men looking at maybe a 'once upon a time shower stall. Man standing in the midst of broken up lumber and other stuff that once was his house. A retired couple looking at the remains of their home. Damaged houses - ducks swimming in a pond. A boat that was picked up and thrown on someone's lawn. A frame of a car sitting among rubble. About 3-dozen eggs sitting on a counter top that managed to survive untouched by the mayhem that took place. - A wall of a garage with some tools hanging on the wall. Up-side-down car.
