[QUOTE="Lakenut, post: 2415671, member: 30258"] Let me guess, can you say lowest bidder? Not saying the building could have with stood no matter how strong it was built.... Kind of off topic a bit, but...weather predictions have come A LONG ways in the last couple of years. Especially here in OK. Last year on both the Moore tornado and the El Reno tornado everyone was saying that things were coming together to have large, violent, and multiple tornadoes in central Ok. And it wasn't last minute predictions. Days out they were saying this. As the forecast shaped up the day before and the morning of both tornadoes, the weather experts were even more confident/scared of what might happen. The storms came together much as the weather experts feared. As for the schools, why not take a "weather day" off when we have forecasts like this last May? Sure saferooms in every school would be great...and will probably be mandated soon...but in the mean time it might be better than having hundreds of kids huddling in the halls of a building not intended to provide shelter.
