Supercomputers Help Reunite Families After Deadly Kansas Tornadoes

May 8, 2007, 12:36 pm

A Safe and Well Web site has been providing vital updates on people who were in the path of Friday's huge tornadoes in Kansas. The site, hosted by the San Diego Supercomputing Center, a part of the University of California at San Diego, has been queried by more than 13,000 friends and family members, according to Supercomputing Online. Several hundred people affected by the storm have registered on the site, announcing to worried loved ones that they are alive and well. 

The supercomputing center works with the American Red Cross to maintain the site, where victims can list contact information and people concerned about them can search for updates. –Josh Fischman
