I teach in the area...we had kids coming in off of busses on their way home. Scary is right. CSHS held the kids there for quite a while instead of letting them leave. SMART MOVE!! Our school system is famous for their poor judgement when it comes to weather and hauling kids.
I kept my young'un home today, as I was afraid downtown would flood and she'd be stuck at Catholic. It was supposed to close at 1:15, so they locked the school down and herded all the kids into a downstairs hallway.
Of course, we had a blasted tornado come down way too close to comfort, as we are not far from Goodview Elementary, where there was tornado damage.
We hauled all the critters into the basement, and waited til the all clear was given.
We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto!
