not being in a tornado area i’ve got to ask- don’t they have tornado shelters at schools??

Apparent not, my wife asked the same thing last night! What are they thinking, it must be about money. Sacrifice children at the expense of saving a few $$ here and there!

Apparently basements in Oklahoma are nearly impossible to construct from what I read yesterday.

In general, hallways can be reinforced to with stand EF3s. Beyond that, I am not certain that the capability exists.

I live in Missouri, and one of our local businesses was exploring how to do this since they weren't able to get a basement. The construction companies were willing to bid up to EF3. Not sure why - Maybe the technology is iffy for such a large area, or maybe a liability issue for the company/architect.

Oh, I'm sure they spent plenty of money....(salaries and benefits...salaries and benefits)

This accurately displays that it IS NOT..."for the children"
