More looting again tonight. The CVS and Subway are a few of tonight’s casualties. After the destruction that occurred during last nights riots, why wouldn’t you just block off access to EMC streets at night for the remainder of the weekend? Or set a mandated curfew?

It's 2000 people in 1 year. Most likely due to the tornado (and maybe a bit of a 500 unit apartment collapse).


This is a July 1, 2019 estimate. The tornado wouldn’t impact this estimate.
