[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except that there’s no tornado warning. And nothing may happen here at all.

[quote=Anonymous]The people in this forum not taking a tornado warning seriously makes me wonder about people in general. Schools should close by 1. No the school is not the safest place because traveling after such an event will be dangerous with wires down and debris in the road. [/quote][/quote]

There would not be an actual official tornado warning a day ahead of time. That's not how these things work. We are in a level 4 moderate risk which is highly unusual.

Please educate yourself. [/quote]

Original commenter here. I was raised in OK. If we called out early every time there was a Level 4 "moderate risk" event, our kids wouldn't be going to school from April - Oct.  :roll: [/quote]

Of course, but didn’t you have storm shelters and well know plans and less traffic on the roads as well?  You generally knew what to do and had fewer people to move around to do it.  We aren’t used to this here and there are TONS of people on the roads.[/quote]

No. If by "storm shelter," you mean double wide, then okay. This is Oklahoma, not some fancy East Coast hideaway.

But I agree that these events happened often, so we did not panic like Northern VA who can't handle any weather event without asking for the school system to shut down in advance. The thing about tornadoes is you cannot predict their path until they're here. And it doesn't matter what building you're in. It's fate if you're in trouble. [/quote]

It’s not the building part so much, it’s that this hits during dismissal. When they are saying don’t be outside. [/quote]
