Historic tornado taught valuable lessons
Salt Lake Tribune
But nobody not even the forecasters expected what happened next. Small eddies of wind over the Great Salt Lake were about to collide with strong southerly winds in the Salt Lake Valley at the same time a powerful thunderstorm was forming above them. The result was a powerful tornado. As the twister began its nearly 4-mile 10-minute rampage through the heart of downtown Salt Lake City the Moores were sitting down to a wedding lunch at the Inn at Temple Square where the power didn’t even go out. Crandy was killed when the tent collapsed. Amazingly he would be the only fatality in one of Utah’s most devastating weather events a storm that injured more than 80 others left 34 homes uninhabitable destroyed 500 trees and caused more than $170 million in damage. It could happen again.

Good hurricane policy
Pensacola News Journal
That the effort is economically stimulative doesn’t hurt either. No not everyone is going to get a piece of the latest $5 million FEMA grant. But the lesson remains: Investing in hurricane straps stronger roofs window protection and other hurricane-hardening techniques is sound policy for any homeowner or business owner. The State of Florida has tried hard to hold down insurance premiums through a variety of legislative efforts.
