Got involved in one of those "committee" events for our building (occupied by two different federal agencies).

Just about everybody was focused on possible terrorism or fire. I thought tornado activity had an appreciable risk but couldn't get much attention.

That evening an F5 class tornado wiped out the downtown of nearby La Plata, MD.

We wrote a really good section on tornado action the next day!

It's pretty obvious that the "plan" for VT fell apart pretty darned quick in the face of real criminal/terrorist activity. No doubt there are rules against chaining doors shut as there are for discharging weapons in classrooms. Although we can direct most people with rules alone, there's this hard core who are not so gently coerced. We must guard against them, and prepare to repel them if necessary.

Must admit terrorism, fire and natural disasters are the three events most planned for,
but many including myself were overwhelmed this week by the rainfall levels in the tri-state area.
I’ve seen flood damage, nothing on this scale.
