I believe you. I watched the presser and they said they weren’t sure about everyone.

I’m north of there but this happened a few miles from me the other night.



I was watching it live, it was radar indicated, then died down then reintensified

Exactly which is why I asked him to show us where Jeff touched him.

Can’t imagine what that’s like… they are saying it was only a EF3 though, which is insane.

At least the one in Kentucky

Yeah. The storms north weren’t as bad as the southern track. My best friend lives in Clinton county so I was talking to him when it was coming into IL.

Our power was out for the night but back on before waking up. Slept with the windows open in December in IL lol.

There is no way you are over the age of 17 with your “hot take”.

You have Stout and Micky Goldsomething both agreeing you are dumbass.

Getting them to both take the sane side on an argument is no small accomplishment.

Kentucky is actually in the zone for most destructive tornado activity.

Stil tragic, no question, but far from unusual.

So if I have a home built for my family and I that doesn't have a basement or purpose built storm shelter, and then a tornado hits and one of my family members die, I'm a murderer?

So no fire suppression, or fire alarms either, right? No heat or AC in the building either, because freezing cold and sweltering heat are acts of nature. Giving people a safe place to ride out a tornado isn’t making a business responsible for acts of nature. It’s making businesses responsible for the safety of its employees in an emergency.

Then why don’t any warehouses have this? Why isn’t it mandated by local govt?

Again, why aren’t you people yelling at the candle factory owner who “killed” twice as many according to you all.

Some do have shelters for their workers. I’ve worked in a couple. And I’m going to bet that it would cost the candle factory owner quite a bit more than one half of one second of profit to provide that safety for their employees.

The 2nd richest man in the world doesn't have storm shelters at his newly built warehouses is an absolute sham. Just stick those 60 employees in bathrooms and hope for the best is bullshite when you have Jeff Bezos money.
States have building codes. You build your occupied structures based on those building codes. If the building code states you should have a storm shelter, you build a storm shelter. If they don’t, then you don’t. If the code is inadequate, they need to legislate new rules to help protect lives.

Offices of a certain size probably have evacuation and shelter-in-place protocols as well. Probably required by the Fire Marshal. Same situation here if a review seems the current protocols are insufficient.

Now, if Amazon violated any of those requirements, they should be held liable.

Tornados are not like hurricanes. Not sure you can get adequate notice to send everyone home fast enough. And we cannot shut down half the country just for the possibility of severe weather. It’s a shame folks politicize weather disasters like they do.

Back when I lived in North Mississippi there's 3 months a year where every week has a severe T'storm with a high chance of tornados. They're nearly impossible to predict and the storm could last for an entire day. Is OP expecting them to be in the shelter for an entire day multiple times per a month?

You guys need to settle down and let the engineers handle this. Local building codes set design requirements based on site-specific risk factors.......

Commercial structures are designed to those codes with those risks in mind.
