Monolithic dome school.
Government “help” is rendering us helpless.
I agree but we’re long past that already. Seat belt laws, bike helmet regulations, etc. Local and state governments especially already mandate all sorts of building codes. You’re not wrong, but that train has already left the station.
I’m curious. How many shelters could we have put in schools for the amount of money we’ve paid for mooseChelle and zero (& brats) to go on their many vacations?
I do not now but have previously lived in tornado alley. Since that time about 20 years ago, I have learned about monolithic domes. They can be designed to withstand 400 mph winds and over 100 mph projectiles. If I had to live in a tornado area again, I believe I would build one of these.

At the very least, I would be pushing the school board to rebuild the school with at least the gym being a dome.
You should put out your fire.
Why aren’t citizens mandated to carry guns in dangerous cities?
Monolithic dome school.
I saw it. You r right...it was disgusting. I wish they would all get the heck out of Oklahoma. We don’t need them here. Like I really believe she really cares about the people of Oklahoma.
The answer that Coburn should have given is that if the democrats had not spent so many billions on globull warming scam and green company scams....all if their hollywood cronies....and federal union pensions and perks...there would be plenty of money to give state grants for shelters in tornado prone mid west Oklahoma.
That would have shut her up cold. That is what I would have done...lol.
Defending against meteorite strike is personal responsibility too
Government help? That school was set to get a new shelter, but FEMA held back the funds because of a rule cha ge in the application. This government is being run by yet to be convicted criminals.
All of us pay property taxes, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of funding public education. Some of that money SHOULD be used for school storm shelters in areas at regular risk of tornadoes.
If student safety is so unimportant that shelters must be paid for through “charity”, then the school budget priorities need to be seriously reexamined. The FIRST priority must be the safety of the children.
Storm shelters don't have to be million dollar lounges. Shipping containers buried under ground with ventilation, lighting, benches, & a secure entrance are all that are needed. No doubt a school could have a sufficient number of these installed for less that the cost of one year's salary of an assistant principal.
If it comes down to one less teacher/administrator or a bunch of dead kids/teachers/administrators, which is the more important? This is one choice where EVERYONE should agree.
I should add that a school is a good location for public shelters. Schools are often used as shelters during storms & floods, now. Why not enhance that public accommodation with enough shelters not only to protect the school, but also anyone nearby needing immediate shelter? Not everyone is conveniently near their home shelter when a tornado hits.
