Moore, Oklahoma. May 3rd, 1999
My presentation was about the massive F5 tornado that went on a 38-mile journey through Moore, Oklahoma on May 3rd, 1999. This causing 46 deaths, 800 injuries,
about 8000 homes
damaged/destroyed, and
over $1.5 billion in damages. Fema reacting immediatley, opening shelters to about 1,600 people overnight.Roughly
$180,000 had been approved by FEMA for disaster housing assistance by May 9. By
May 13, increasing to more than $5.9 million over the following five days. It
was also the deadliest,
costliest and most violent tornado ever on record in the area.
