Schools close for everything these. Tornado warning? Into the hallway like the old days.


We used to get our weather at the end of the news or looking out the window.

Now everyone with a smart phone is a meteorologist with access to forecast models and our own radar.

Combine that with social media and this is what you get. Overreaction.

And then the Moore EF5 happened and multiple schools were hit. Students huddling in the halls were trapped, injured, and some were killed.

Oh and as the tornado approached, frantic parents were climbing the fence and trying to get through the carpool line to get their kids out of there. They got hit too.
