I stand by my post. One school apparently didn't even have a shelter....the terrified kids in the halls were literally told to "hang on to the walls" by the teachers. One teacher threw her body over a couple kids. We'll see how many underground shelters there were in the other schools.

There are kids injured and some are still missing. Notice was given yesterday that there'd probably be storms in the same general area again today. The schools shouldn't have opened this morning because it gave a false sense of security. Schools are not impervious just because they're big and brick.

However, if I had school-age children, they wouldn't have been in ANY school this morning. Nor would they be in my house, nor in my trailer, nor in my mansion.

My entire imaginary family would have hit the road out of Dodge during the night or early morning and would have been 200-300 miles away staying in a Comfort Inn till all was clear back in Moore and surrounding towns.

Schools or homes, you don't fool with Mother Nature.

“Imaginary” is the operative word in your post.

If you kept driving 200 miles to get out of SPC moderate risk or higher severe weather areas(if you lived in Moore, mind you, you'd have to do this probably 4-5 times a year) your imaginary children would be in FAR more danger of dying in a car accident than in a tornado.
