Despite the sheer devastation that is shown and huge number of people
affected, as in the Oklahoma tornado, most of that damage fits within
the footprint of many 2-meter and 440 MHz repeaters. Also, the city
most affected is 15 km from the state capital so access to government
relief/response in this case happens to be nearby.
