Well this is absurd......
"Moore Mayor Glen Lewis said he will propose an ordinance in the next couple of days at the Moore City Council that would modify building codes to require the construction of reinforced shelters in every new home."
I am afraid I don't follow you. Given their tornadic history, it seems fairly reasonable. I just listened this morning to a piece on NPR, a discussion with a research meteorologist, who opined that any single piece of real estate was likely to be struck by a tornado once in 4,000 years. Your odds are therefore pretty good. Despite these odds, this gentleman paid an extra $2000 to incorporate a reinforced concrete shelter into an addition to his residence.
If I were purchasing real estate in Tornado Alley, a good shelter would be a definite plus.
