Tornado
PICHER, OK - MAY 14: Lead contaminated chat piles backdrop the effects of a tornado May 14, 2008 in Picher, Oklahoma. The EF-4 tornado, with winds of 166 to 200 mph, ripped through the town on May 10, killing 7 people. The town is listed as a Superfund site because of leftover waste from closed lead mines that contaminated the area during the mid-20th century. Due to its pollution status many residents who were already going through property buyouts see it as unlikely that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will grant assistance to homeowners to rebuild in Picher.
