This is really incredibly sad anyone commenting ignorant comments about how people should’ve done x y z can you please dig deep inside yourself to find an ounce of kindness or humility that something like this deserves. People
were obviously in absolute shock not knowing what to do in that moment of natural destruction. Seconds can feel like minutes when you’re watching yet an instant in their present. Learn from what you’re seeing. Your shame and judgment takes away from you.

Legit. It's in an AIRPORT (you know, where travelers from other lands congregate). I grew up in the middle of tornado alley. We did tornado drills in school, not earthquake drills. I'd be reacting based on fear and what little I've seen on TV, not knowledge and experience.

from watching some youtube shows, I only recently found out how dangerous them big tornados can be the fact they are spinning the bricks and bits of cars they already ripped up at 300mph then it uses that to grind up the next house, they don't just rip things up they grind them as well.

i thought it was just a case of get in a basement, but for the most powerful it has to be a purpose made bunker people can get ripped out of basements even
