[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those trailers absolutely will jostle and have parts fly off in this wind. [/quote]
The schools must have a plan to keep kids in permanent structures during wind storms? [/quote]

Wind has to be at least 75mph for a High Wind Warning by the National Weather Service. Last night's wind was 60mph.  The wind this morning is nowhere near that. If it were at the 75mph mark, all staff and students would be moved out of trailers to the main building.

Per Safety Regulation 8625: [i]High Wind Warnings If a high wind warning has been issued by the NWS that includes a forecast for winds sustained or gusting in excess of 75 mph, notify teachers in temporary structures (parkos, modular buildings, or any other nonmasonry structures) to move their students to the main school building. It is not necessary to use tornado shelter areas. Any available rooms in the main building can be used, such as the media center, cafeteria, or gymnasium. [/i]
