They have been having storm watch. Now helicopter feed showing devastation at and around hospital. heading to the school.

With the “narrow” path of a tornado - I wonder if it might be best to be in a vehicle so you can just move sideways from it as it comes. Of course you have other traffic, and if you do get caught - your car probably isn’t much help unles you can drive it into a ditch or something.

This has been the subject of much debate. The reality is, with enough warning and a slow-moving storm, with someone with knowledge of local roads and an understanding of the storm movement, yes, it's quite possible to evade a storm in a vehicle.

From a public messaging perspective though, given the possibility for accidents/traffic jams, and the fact that you're infinitely worse off in any vehicle than you are even in a mobile home, it would be a bad idea to advise evacuation.
