Strong and violent tornadoes can generate very powerful missiles.Experience shows that large and heavy objects, including vehicles,can be hurled into buildings at high speeds. The missile stickingout of the roof in the foreground of Figure 3-103 is a double 2-inch by 6-inch wood member. The portion sticking out of the roofis 13 feet long. It penetrated a ballasted ethylene propylene dienemonomer (EPDM) membrane, approximately 3 inches of polyisocyanurateroof insulation, and the steel roof deck. The missilelying on the roof just beyond is a 2-inch by 10-inch by 16-foot longwood member.Figure 3-103:A violent tornadoshowered the roof ofthis school with missiles.(Oklahoma, 1999)There is little documentation regarding tornado-induced damageto critical facilities. Most of the damage reports available pertainto schools because schools are the most prevalent type of criticalfacilities and, therefore, are more likely to be struck. A 1978 reportprepared for the Veterans Administration 13 identified fourhospitals that were struck by tornadoes between 1973 and 1976.Table 3-5 (taken from that report) further illustrates the effectstornados can have on critical facilities.13.

One-storysteel frame with non-loadbearing masonry exterior walls.The tornadocrossedover oneend of thehospital.Metal roof deckingwas blown off, somewindows were broken,and rooftop mechanicalequipment wasdisplaced.Patients were moved toundamaged areas of thehospital.Omaha, Nebraska (BishopBergen Mercy Hospital). Fivestoryreinforced concrete frame.Maximumwind speedestimated at200 mph.Proximity tohospital notdocumented.Windows werebroken, and rooftopmechanical equipmentwas damagedand displaced.Communicationsand electrical powerwere lost (emergencygenerators providedpower).A few minor cuts; “doublewalled corridors” providedprotection for patients and staff.Some incoming emergencyroom patients (injuredelsewhere in the city) werererouted to other hospitals. Lossof communications hamperedthe rerouting.Omaha, Nebraska (BishopBergen Mercy Hospital– Ambulatory Care Unit). Onestoryload bearing CMU wallswith steel joists.See above.The building was a totalloss due to wall androof collapse.Patients were evacuated tothe first floor of the mainhospital when the tornadowatch was issued.Corsicana, Texas (NavarroCounty Memorial Hospital).Five-story reinforced concreteframe with masonry non-loadbearing walls in some areas andglass curtain walls.The tornadowas veryweak.Many windows werebroken by aggregatefrom the hospital’s builtuproofs. Intake ductwork in the penthousecollapsed.Two people in the parking lotreceived minor injuries fromroof aggregate. Electricalpower was lost for 2 hours(emergency generatorsprovided power).Monahans, Texas (WardMemorial Hospital). One-storyload bearing CMU walls withsteel joists. Some areas hadmetal roof deck and others hadgypsum deck.The tornadopasseddirectly overthe hospital,withmaximumwind speedestimated at150 mph.The roof structure wasblown away on aportion of the building(the bond beampulled away from thewall). Many windowswere broken. Rooftopmechanical equipmentwas damaged.3-128 MAKING CRITICAL FACILITIES SAFE FROM High Wind
