William Lanning points on Friday, May 9, 2008 to the jumbled remains of what was once his bedroom after it was ripped from his home, upper right, by a tornado the previous night near Advance, N. C. Lanning and his wife were in the bedroom when it was torn from the house and collapsed into the garage, with the roof flying off into the field behind the house.
