The morning of April 21; 1967; was crisp and clear; marking the arrival of spring. As the day progressed; dark clouds covered the skies over Oak Lawn; and a deadly tornado touched down in the village just before 5:30 p.m. Cutting through the intersection of 95th Street and Southwest Highway and striking elsewhere; the storm left mountains of debris and over 30 people dead in its wake. Oak Lawn Community High School; St. Gerald Catholic Church; and the Fairway Super Mart were among the structures damaged or destroyed by the high winds. After the disaster; rescue workers and volunteers poured into Oak Lawn to search for survivors; while Christ Community Hospital and other institutions treated more than 400 injured people. The immense cleanup; which took weeks to complete; saw debris hauled out or disposed of in controlled fires. Despite the scope of the devastation; many of the affected structures were repaired or rebuilt within 12 months.

There isnt high use of jargon; which makes it simple to understand. Personally; I have spent many years studying the field and was looking more for a visual encyclopedia. For the price; it was a great buy.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent resourceBy CustomerThis is an excellent reference for information regarding many gemstones.
