While the area had a tornado Sat / sun and the forecasters told the area in Oklahoma that on that day there WAS going to be severe weather w/ a Good chance of very large hail and tornadoes. WHY were schools open??? The schools Don't have storm shelters???

Good Question, nothing was safe around there though.

I heard on the Radio this AM that many of the houses in that area don't have basement/storm shelters because the soil is very shallow and it's basically built on bedrock. In order to make ones own storm shelter you would have to blast through the bed rock and it very expensive.
