WASHINGTON — Eight days after an EF-4 tornado cut across their town, many of the nearby residents of Washington are still picking up the pieces of what were once their homes. As they go about this task, some residents have made it a point to keep America’s colors flying high in their neighborhoods.

During a visit to Washington on Friday, the Harbinger captured the following images in which our nation’s flag can be seen amid the scenes of destruction that are now so unfortunately common.

After the storm, the flag of one Gillman Avenue home returned to its post.
