Yeah, they were talking about possibly not rebuilding the town.
Related note...it was reported this morning that they were hit with an F8 tornado....and that it was a major city that was wiped out. I guess that media source needed build the news up some.

As much as I love tornados and storms. I always hate to see the aftermath it's so sad.

It was their number.
It was, however, classified as an F5 officially last I heard though.

The actual report is "boring" but **** they get to make up and skew for everyone else is what makes the money.
Sucks that the media has to compete with hollywood these days

I still can't believe the Tornado was 1.7 miles wide. That's ridiculous.
