Yes… severe storms and tornadoes are unfortunately a factor where I live. I’ve seen neighborhoods here that look just as ruined as the one in the photo, sans ashes… and of course most of the new construction is lumber frame. I even saw a 4 story apartment building go up last year, all lumber. Seemed wild to me. One of the many ill effects of housing being considered a commodity instead of essential to human life, I guess.
