All they usually do is have the kids sit in hallways with their heads between their knees, at least that’s what we did as kids in Michigan.
This tornado was so bad, though, that the school probably just exploded, would not have mattered where anyone was. Happened to Lake School District in Ohio a few years ago—obliterated. Fortunately there was no school that day.
Not funny.

A tragedy that will be perverted by the press with a Sandy Hook comparison.
Just damn. I teach 3rd grade in Texas.
Heard a report earlier that addressed the ground there. Evidently there is a layer of top soil, and then there’s an almost impenetrable layer under that. Evidently very few homes have the traditional storm shelters in Oklahoma. (basement involved)

24? NO. Please....
God bless my fellow Okies.
How soon before these deaths will be blamed on the Republican’s sequester cutting “vital” funds from weather warnings systems? I am certain Obama is preparing for a trip to Oklahoma for a photo op and will like in the wake of hurricane Sandy promise all kinds of federal aid which will never arrive.
Zero is ecstatic for the distraction from 0bamagate.
OMG. :*(*** Those precious babies.
In this case, the direct hit, combined with the power of the event likely made a lot this irrelevant.
It is being reported on the local NBC affiliate KFOR also.
