What fell? Debris which included roofing. Some of the debris was about 4 feet by 8 feet. Some of it was metal and some was plywood.

Also, Van Horn has about 20 square pieces of wallpaper with different patterns.

The different pieces of wallpaper are attached to plywood, a couple of pieces with drywall.

Where does Van Horn think it came from?

He thinks it might have come from the tornado that hit Lone Grove and near Ardmore. Lone Grove and Sulphur are about 30 miles apart.
