Shelter for all, a new mantra in Moore

Moore, Oklahoma (CNN) - In the aftermath of the monster tornado in Oklahoma, there’s been a lot of discussion about storm shelters. Tornadoes are common in the area, but few buildings have basements or above-ground shelters.
Students at the elementary school that collapsed could only huddle in a hallway as 200-mile-per-hour winds tore apart their building. Seven children died.
Now there’s an effort to bring shelters to Oklahoma’s schools, especially in Moore.
Mark McBride, who represents Moore in the Oklahoma legislature, has teamed up with other lawmakers to create a fund. The money will go to placing storm shelters inside schools. They’ve already received a $500,000 donation from an Oklahoma-based company.
This tornado was an F-5. The top of the scale. The last one of the same magnitude was in 1999.
[1:16] "What’s the odds of having two F5 tornadoes in your lifetime? You don’t expect that. A structure like this would withstand an F2 or 3, you know. It’s kinda how we’ve done things."
There appear to be the beginnings of a cultural shift here. A monster tornado is now no longer a 100-year-event. Tasha Hames lives in the neighborhood that was spared by the tornado. She says her family is one of the few in town who have a storm shelter. It’s in the garage:
[3:17] "Ours is above ground. It’s the armor. Kind of like what they use for military vehicles. And it’s bolted to the ground and the cement."
It’s a small metal bunker about 6-by-5 feet. With a heavy metal door.
[3:35] "When the storm first started we shut off all three locks. And it just vibrated and shook while we’re in here.”
Other families were also in the shelter and Hames says the experience showed them how important shelters are.

more Jewish hypocrisy. Altruism for gentile thee, not for Jewish me. this is not left vs right, GOP vs Dems, Socialism vs liberty. This is war against White people.
Why do hostile globalist elite defend Israel as a Jewish ethnostate with Jewish only immigration, but ravage White majority Europe/North America into a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural Gulag with dystopian non-White colonization?
The world is 93% non-White, only 7% White. But 3rd world colonizers, Muslims, Sikhs, Hispanics, are aggressively advancing their agenda to annihilate gullible Whites, just as China annihilates Tibet.
How long will gullible Whites cuckold for murderous anti-White elite, who confiscate our guns, infiltrate/subvert our banks/FBI/CIA, indoctrinate White kids in academia/mass media, plunder White jobs/wages, & butcher White soldiers in bankrupting wars?
"Native" Americans invaded from East Asia. Yellow & Brown races committed 10-times more genocide, slavery, imperialism than Whites. Since Old-Testament, Whites have been victims of Jewish/Crypto-Jewish, Turkic, Muslim, N.African imperialism, slavery, genocide.
Gullible Whites should reject subversive ideologies- libertarianism, feminism, liberalism- & reject hostile slanders of racism. Peace to all humanity, but White people must organize to advance their interests, their fertility, their homelands. Spread this message.

The entire school should qualify as a shelter, not just a small vault built inside or panic room... many communities have learned from their own experiences with tornadoes and turned to the best solution available : the monolithic dome. See http://www.monolithic.com/ for an explanation of the details. In short, a monolithic dome structure has been proven to survive F5 tornadoes and hurricanes and earthquakes and fires as well as any other calamity likely to occur to a building.
They need to take a serious look at dome structures for homes, shelters and even for the school. Get rid of the flat wall.
