(120 posts). . . that the three tornadoes near my village (Broadwater, Nebraska, the first three of this outbreak) did not hit anything in the village.
As the one long haired hippie atheist socialistic village trustee on the village board, I proposed a more practical solution to the board for consideration on next month's agenda: building a community tornado shelter for our 128 people.
I have already survived one tornado (Liberty, Mo., May 4, 2003) because I had a safe room under my house, along with eight other neighbours that piled into my safe room. The house was destroyed.
Rather than trust in some supernatural power to protect my town in a tornado, I would rather the village board be proactive and build shelters, particularly since FEMA will finance much of the construction. We'll have to see though: there are a lot of people that object when the village clerk puts in a claim to buy paperclips.
