Title: UA Leads Multi-Institute Research of Oklahoma Tornado Damage Post by: BAMAWV on June 04, 2013, 08:41:32 AM http://uanews.ua.edu/2013/06/ua-leads-multi-institute-research-of-oklahoma-tornado-damage/
Quote The University of Alabama is the lead on a research grant to study the damage left by the tornado that struck Moore. Several schools and several thousand residential homes were damaged or destroyed, and the performance of these structures provides an important research opportunity to document any advancement in building practice of wood-frame homes in tornado-prone areas.

I was just trying to remember some things he taught us about wood strength this morning.

Uncle Sam called and i didn't go to college to study that area and boy did I find out there was other plans for me. It does look like fun though. RTR!
