It's always ticked me off that basements are so rare here in North Texas.

Right now they're just trying to get to it. There are busses sitting out in front like they were there to pick up kids.

Much of this area was totally destroyed by a tornado in 1999. My friends' home was totally destroyed, she was inside the house but was okay.
