A month after a tornado, all that remained of the Fields' former home was a pile of debris, including a mattress that probably saved their lives. Said to be Oklahoma's worst tornado in 17 years, it was categorized by meteorologists as F-5 using the Fujita-Pearson scale and destroyed nearly 2,000 homes and damaged 7,000 others. This photograph was used in the article "Real-life Twister," from the September 1999 AIRMAN Magazine. Base: Tinker Air Force Base State: Oklahoma (OK) Country: United States Of America (USA)
