Tornado crushes roof of Clarksville, Tennessee, church (99-2288). A parishioner walks glumly through the wreckage of the roof of Trinity Episcopal Church in Clarkesville, Tennessee, the morning after a tornado devastated the city on January 22. The Trinity building, consecrated in 1881, was the third church in the Diocese of Tennessee to be destroyed by tornadoes within less than a year.
