Talk:Metro Tower (Lubbock)

Untitled
I dispute the photo caption about the Metro Tower being the tallest building to survive a direct hit by an F-5 tornado. In 1953 the Alico Building in Waco received a direct hit by an F-5 tornado that devastated downtown Waco which killed 114 people (1953_Waco_tornado_outbreak). The Alico Building is 282 feet in height compared with 274 feet with the Metro Tower, according to Emporis.com. That would make the Waco building the tallest such building to survive an F-5 tornado.

 * The tower wasn't even in the path of the tornado during F5 winds. I've updated the caption.
