But after two EF-5s in 15 years I bet they will be more wary next time. I'm glad to hear the mayor mention forcing homebuilders to make safe rooms when building homes. I lived in Texas and Kansas and saw the evolution of homebuilding. I always wondered why there were no more basements or storm shelters. I remember in Kansas our closest shelter was a church. You shouldn't have to drive anywhere when there are tornadoe sirens going off. You should be able to just get in a safe room or basement in your own home. And of course schools should have them too. It should be a no brainer. But when you get republicans, profit, and deregulation involved there are no brains.
