As I said, there are frequent drills and procedures for tornado safety but 1) this was one big motherfucker that no amount of hiding under the desk will protect you from, and 2) this is America where poor and non-caucasian people are more or less expendable. Hell, we convinced an entire generation that "duck and cover" would protect them from nuclear bombs, and now we are busy convincing them that GMO food is good but universal free health care is bad. We're pretty fucked up in our heads over here.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
