I also grew up in Michigan in the 60’s and we were drilled every now and then for a Tornado “Warning” which then, meant a funnel cloud has been sighted. We trained and drilled but a school without an underground bomb shelter or underground something is doomed. Kids sitting in the hallway is no protection at all and in states as flat and tornado-reknowned as Oklahoma, it seems to be a crime that they did not either have suitable protection or were drilled for events of this type. On the other hand, if this was a record-breaking, mammoth tornado then maybe there was no hope to begin with. Not sure but our hearts go out to all the victims...

they were drilled, they did have hallways and hardened rooms for shelters.

The storm was too powerful.
