Apparently some people think they can base whether a building is destroyed or not off of a car. There's a large difference. A building has large parts and they each need to be ripped apart to qualify as "destroyed". Merely losing a roof does not qualify as total destruction! Over 80% of the building is still standing. On the Enchanced Fujita Scale, note that a building is not destroyed until it has sustained EF4 damage, whereas losing a roof is only EF2. |

"Destroyed" is a term used loosely to describe tornado damage, and the fact the Metrapark wasn't even a total loss signifies this word was not used appropriately. --[[Special:Contributions/99.107.241.102|99.107.241.102]] ([[User talk:99.107.241.102|talk]]) 19:01, 20 June 2012 (UTC) |
