Even though the twister did a half-million dollars in damage, Warren says he feels fortunate it wasn't worse.

Moore Director of Economic Development Deidre Ebrey says the city is grateful for the Warren Theatre.

"They were a major component in saving lives for those who sought refuge there. It was a meeting place. It is much more than a business," Ebrey said.
