Rebuilding Tips After Tornado Damage from Iowa Family
The Sabatuks rebuilt after a tornado destroying their home while living in a motel and later an apartment.

Revised scale to rate tornadoes takes effect this year
Government updates the Fujita Scale to use 28 damage indicators for estimating tornado intensity. An F-5 on the new scale requires winds at least 200 mph, aligning ratings with observed destruction and aiding construction design, while historical comparisons remain largely unchanged.
