[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all are not from the midwest and it shows. Weather forecasts are showing the worst of the weather to be from 2-6pm. School systems do not want to mess around with kids getting stuck across the city in tornado conditions. It looks like most of the other major ones are closing early. I hope DCPS follows suit.  [/quote]

I grew up in the heart of tornado alley. Lots of tornado drills but we never had early dismissal for weather.[/quote]

Our schools just had us do all the drills and hunker in the basement until all was clear and parents could get there.[/quote]

This is a weird flex. We also didn't have cell phones, the internet, or as advanced meteorology in the 1980s. Are you saying schools in the midwest don't close for tornado weather conditions? Because I can assure you, they do. [/quote]

I'm one of the earlier PPs. Where I'm from they still don't close for this kind of weather. If they did, they would have early dismissal basically all spring.

Not a flex, just reality. Your experience is not representative.[/quote]

DP. I would guess that schools (and all public buildings) in the Midwest have infrastructure to handle weather like this. I don’t think my kid’s DCPS school has a basement big enough to shelter the entire student body plus teachers and staff.

I’m grateful that we don’t usually have weather this bad and hope that tomorrow we don’t get anything more than some heavy rain. [/quote]
