Out of everyone the team he was on pulled out, none had survived. The death count will also be much higher. He said that the official count contains those who they have been able to identify. There are several who they haven't been able to identify yet.
Ick. I remember being told that the NE corner of ANY structure is the safest place to take shelter during a tornado. I don't know if that thinking has changed or not.
