I know it's tornado damaged, but there were no street signs? Nobody even checked?
Ah, that's the problem: lack of caring from the top.

That seems to frequently be the case with corporate mixups.

This is what happens when people rely on a free service for use in a professional situation.
This would be the same as pilots using google maps to fly around. Just not done ever.

No, this is what happens when nobody confirms shit.
It's not that hard to read a fucking street sign and make sure you're on the right street before you blow up a building.
