I'm teaching the weather this week, so this tragically convient for me.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

School managed to evacuate the 4-6th grades, but the 1-3rd grades had to shelter in place and the town was too cheap for shelters.

:hmm:

Surely it must be possible to build schools with underground or a core/citadel safety refuge ?

 :wacko:

My elementary school had a weather shelter and I grew up in freaking Pennsylvania.

Ironically, about 20 years ago the school actually had an EF0 tornado pass right over/through it.

Shit, my old high school in Salisbury had a bona fide Civil Defense bomb shelter.  And the Eastern Shore is as flat and and the soil as porous as Oklahoma's.

I was transplanted in, and transplanted out.  Stuck around long enough to grab a bucket of English's.

:D  At UD for ROTC we frequently trained with Salisbury State cadets.  They were... special.  Made me feel like I was back in WV.  Not as special as the UM Eastern Shore guys, though.  They were in a class all by themselves  :wacko:

My elementary school was.  It also doubled as a fallout shelter.  I think because of the lead paint.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

We got your fucking point the first time. You don't need to stick around continuing to make an ass of yourself.
