Tornado in Oklahoma City, where the cost of insurance is a fraction of the Villages.
1999 Bridge CreekâMoore tornado - Wikipedia
This was the damage from the cat-5 that hit Oklahoma City on May 3, 1999. This devastation was a swath a mile wide that continued all the way up the 80 miles of I-44 to Tulsa, gradually losing steam until it passed over my house. The storm produced over 70 documented separate tornados. The cat5 damage continued for 45 miles, from Amber through OKC. A total of 8,132 homes, 1,041 apartments, 260 businesses, eleven public buildings, and seven churches were destroyed -- as in leveled.
We were huddled in a closet when the debris started to hit the house, and we heard the sound of the "locomotive", but had no damage. My next door neighbor lost a bunch of shingles -- sorta like those houses in your picture with the tarps on their roofs, who pay four times as much for insurance, even adjusting for inflation, as I paid in Tulsa.
