Correction on number of houses destroyed in OKC

[leftyladyfrommo]

A friend of mine works for FEMA and is in OKC. I had seen a report that some 12,000 to `13,000 homes had been destroyed.

She replied that was incorrect and they have been trying to get the correct numbers out.

It's actually 1200 to 1300.

Still a lot of loss and misery but better than 12,000.

1. How many with $10,000 damage?

See my thread: New theory of tornadoes, in Science forum.

It sure would be nice if we could find a way to destroy tornadoes. Gotta have them figured out first.

2. What is a zero or two among friends?

The problem FEMA has, yes been there done that...the media moved on already. Getting their attention is next to impossible.

4. The population is 40, 000

So 13, 000 destroyed would be almost every house.
