13. I agree that safe rooms should have been built

but to keep the kids in school was appropriate at the time.

Having a bunch of school buses and parents picking up kids in the streets with a storm looming was a choice they had to make. These kids would have been no safer in Moms car on on the bus.

Tornado's are very unpredictable, you do not know exactly where they will hit. I feel awful for the school brass that had to make this decision. It's heartbreaking.

Just to be clear, I do not disagree with you on safe storm shelters, I cannot imagine why they would not have required this.
