May 3, 1999: 10 years later

 Since the massive tornado storm in 1999, the devastated areas have been cleaned up and rebuilt.
 This website shows many videos by Oklahoma News with interviews of victims from the storm. Many people were saved by knowing what to do and sometimes with a little luck. This leads me to believe that knowing what to do in an emergency can mean the difference between life and death. Hopefully the government has learned from this tragedy and doesn't take threats of tornadoes lightly.
The best story from this outbreak was the one of a man who used his NOAA weather radio to listen for information on incoming tornado paths to save his community. He lived in a mobile home area where hiding in your house would not prove effective protection. He gathered up some 35 people living in the area into a small cellar where they waited out the storm. When it had passed they found their mobile homes destroyed. They owed their lives to the effectiveness of the NOAA radio and its superb capabilities.
