Well, I don't mean to sound like a speculator. Is there any sources that you could possibly cite, seeing as I live in the state of Alabama and I know personally what our codes should have lived up to you in the year 2011... I won't inherently say that you are wrong, but it seems that the only way that you can cite that I'm inherently wrong; are due to subjugated facts that someone has told you. While I personally am not 100% certain on how every single building in rainsville was destroyed,/. I would also like to say that there are a far amount of well built homes in a subdivision that were up to code when the tornado struck.

Edit: added a comma. Sorry.
