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.

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

So 13, 000 destroyed would be almost every house.
