As far as the scrap material from the structures that were trashed,
what else was going to be done with them? I assume *someone* was
eventually going to collect it and profit from it. So you're only
happy if some state-sanctioned vultures get their hands on it?

Locally (north Alabama) storm debris get hauled to landfills. There's
not even any attempt to salvage trees for lumber, firewood, or pulp. One of my
co-workers home was hit in April 2011; he had a 4' diameter red oak tree
blown down that was sawed into "small" pieces and dumped. As he is a
woodworker, it bothered him to see it go to waste.
