Cuthbert, GA Tornado, Mar 1909, 6 dead.
How has damage assessment changed over the years?
Half a dozen negroes were killed here by a tornado last night
and a dozen business buildings were almost totally destroyed. The
tornado also tore off the corners and made a fantastic mutilations
on many of the buildings. Several white persons were injured but so
far as known none seriously. A revival meeting was in progress
during the tornado which passed some distance from the church,
whose occupants mistook the storms roar for thunder and remained at
the service throughout the passage of the twister. Later many
worshippers went, under clearing skies, to find their homes or
those of other friends uninhabited from some causes, with here and
there a house pulled to pieces almost completely as if some
carpenter had taken it apart board by board. The greater part of
the destructions was confined to the negro quarters. The total loss
probably will reach $100,000. Cuthbert has 2,500
inhabitants.http://www3.gendisasters.com/georgia/4334/cuthbert,-ga-tornado,-mar-1909

OpenStreetMap is a Creative Commons project, sort of geographic
Wiki.
This map is updated in real time.Rescue teams and NGOs on the
ground are using Garmin GPS .
It only took a few hours to members of the free mapping
community to respond.

Texas Border Security
Trial Deployment of Border Cameras and the Birth of Long Tail
Surveillance
The project generated the
four rules of long tail surveillance
1) If it is on the Internet it will be viewed. 2) If it is on
the Internet, it will be watched 24/7. 3) If viewers are provided a
means to respond, they will respond.4) The responses from the
Internet will be self validating.

Here, instead of rumor-mongering, we see socially-produced
accuracy.
Of particular interest ... is the reference to the number of
victims, and how this exchange once again establishes that these
participants have the common goal of finding who the 32 victims
are; reaching that goal is the purpose of this group
