A tornado hit Lapeer County, MI, a few days ago and did damage to this house (this is by far the worst of the damage). This was the third strongest tornado since 1951 in Lapeer County. The owner works with my wife and let us check it out. This kind of damage is unusual in the area, and there were several TV reporters there at the time, too. Would photos of the aftermath be worth submitting for stock? I'm guessing they would be editorial? Any suggestions?

Thanks, Barry. Do these types of photos sell much?

I did do some searching. I looked up Tornado Damage and only came up with 729 photos. I wasn't sure if that meant there's not a need for them or what. I'll probably try submitting some and see what happens. Thanks!
By the way, can wire services use editorial images? or can insurance companies?

Thanks, Jeff. I guess I'm a little confused at where editorial images are used. I was thinking if wire services or insurance companies used them, they would be promoting their services.
