"If there isn't any sturdy shelter knowing what to do in theory is useless."

It's pretty damn obvious you would be worse than useless in an emergency.

Fox news has had at least two interviews with people that survived in less than sturdy shelter, by hunkering down in an interior closet and in a bathtub. If caught in a very flimsy building, or outdoors or in a car, dive in a ditch, or prostrate in the lowest depression available.

Contrary to your statement, many people DO upgrade safety when rebuilding. I am familiar with a couple from Plainfield, IL whose house was destroyed or heavily damaged THREE times. I guarandamntee you they have an underground shelter.

Well,there have been three tornado outbreaks that caused a lot of damage around here,and darned if I can see any change in building design or construction for the better.

And I meant that all the theoretical knowledge is useless IF you live in a mobile home ,no basement, and the ditches and low spots are standing or running full of rainwater two feet deep.

More real preparation might be good,like requiring storm shelters in mobile home parks.

You don't know ANYTHING about my actions in an emergency,and I won't cite past acts since it OBVIOUS you wouldn't believe or care.
