Is there any way that you can post these in a manner in which we can zoom in and read the articles? Many of us were without power for DAYS, & therefore we missed teh national media coverage of this horrific, once in a life time event that we experienced first hand. Now that we have power being restored, the national coverage has shifted to Osama’s assasination.
Thanks so much for compiling these!

Lou: I have built the slideshows which you can zoom to full screen and look at in good details. You can also embed them on your own blogs and websites.
Take a look at them on the last page.
Also, you’ll find quite a bit of tornado coverage archived on YouTube and other sites.
