is there house insurance coverage available for tornado? I read the news about tornados destroying houses across the midwest US;and I am wondering if the survivors are eligible for complete financial help from gov't or insurance companies.

I believe normal home owners insurance covers that.

the previous survivors of other tornados are still unable to get money from insurance companies. Are they facing similar situation as New Orleans flood survivors?

Reinforced concrete and steel. Then they can huff and puff all day long...

Yep, there's a reason why I won't live in the midwest.

Man, the weather sure is getting scary...
