A destroyed children's playhouse rests behind the heavily damaged homes owned by landlord and owner Richard Secor, on Henry Street in South Rome, N.Y., Tuesday, July 23, 2024, following an EF2 tornado that touched down in the population center one week earlier. Residents are vowing to rebuild. But some of the damage was so severe that the path forward is uncertain for many in this old manufacturing city, where people are more accustomed to digging out from snowstorms than from piles of rubble.
