[See NewsBusters for more.] When talking about the devastating and deadly tornado that ripped through Mayfield Kentucky on Monday, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell welcomed Penn State's Michael Mann to explain that President Biden's Build Back Better plan is necessary to prevent such deadly tornados in the future.
After some technical discussion on how tornados are formed and why they occur where they do, Mitchell asked "And we've learned by hard lessons how to change construction, the Japanese have learned this as well and other places around the world to deal with earthquakes and to deal with, you know, hurricanes. Look at New Orleans coming back from death and destruction. What do we need to learn about how to build better in the southeast, let's say, and the Midwest?"
