It's Rocky Mount NC, not the Rocky mountains. The translation was wrong.
Rocky Mount is a small town in North Carolina. Tornado was a few months ago.

建筑质量太差了,普通家庭木头房就罢了,大规模制药厂如果是钢筋混凝土结构怎么会被龙卷风破坏成这样?

Thanks llyhnbh for the correction. I saw the quote of 90% decades ago from the TV. They might be different sources. You are right. Even at 75%, it is still astonishing.

Not 90%, the actual number is about 75%. That is still a very high percentage.
"Low pressure systems in the US pull warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air aloft from the Rocky Mountains or the High Desert in the southwest. The states that fall in between those two regions end up being in the ideal location for severe weather to ignite."

Tornadoes are American's nemesis. They are unpredictable and highly destructive. About 90% of the world's tornadoes occur in the US.
Every year tornadoes wreak havoc. Then people rebuild from the ruin. The cycle repeats.
