Abstract
- Rebuilding of homes, commercial centers and public buildings destroyed by tornadoes that hit parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas is being slowed by construction material shortage. In Oklahoma, an estimate of 7,024 homes were either destroyed or affected by the tornadoes. Texas, on the other, has to rebuild 114 homes and 31 corporate buildings while Kansas has 3,347 homes five public buildings affected by the storm. Contractors are not sure if manufacturers can increase their supply of gypsum wallboard, brick, cement and insulation materials to keep up with the rebuilding demand.
