Antonio da Silva This neighborhood was damaged by tornadoes.

 

That means that most of houses will be indistinguishable from one another (one pile of ruble looks like another) and that there probably wouldn't be any street signs, or house numbers to check.

 

Moreover, any picture of the house would be useless, as they will probably have the wrong image (they would have gotten that from google maps) not to mention that it would be of the house before it was damaged by the tornado.

 

The best way for them to verify that they had the correct house would to have been by going around the area and finding other people and asking if they could direct them to the correct location or if they were already there -- then as a final step, talk to the owners if they are available (either in person or by phone).
