City commissioner to host meeting Thursday on improving storm shelter availability

none of you people have a clue.I don't care what kind of safe room you have in schools because if a tornado the size of the Moore Oklahoma tornado hit the school then no one is safe.

City commissioner wants review of city's storm shelter policies in wake of Oklahoma tornado

O.K. HERE I GO. No building code will stop an EF 5 tornado like the one that hit Moore Oklahoma.Not even a bank vault is safe. commissioner Farmer please look at all of these pictures of Moore, Oklahoma and tell me what building codes would you change and how Lawrence would be safe from an act of GOD like this one the largest tornado is U.S. history.Build a storm shelter in your closet just like many did have in Oklahoma and place it in front of a tornado that size and see what happens.I volunteered for 10 years for the Douglas County Emergency Management Agency until i decided to go chase storms across the country.
