That noise from tornadoes gives me chills every time....

When I was a kid, we were told to go in the hallway and duck down. Security videos like this and the one in Caruthersville have shown that being in a hallway during a tornado is basically being in a wind tunnel with debris flying at you.

"The dinosaurs didn't read..look what happened to them". Well, I think this video proves that you need a bit more than just to know how to read if you want to survive against mother nature.

Wouldn't have happened to a school in Europe built out of bricks, gotta love the American standard of timber and cardboard

“The dinosaurs didn’t read. Look what happened to them”. So the school library thinks books can stop a huge meteor from wiping out the planet?

The government still probably asked the kids to come in the next day or the parents will be fined

So it must have taken the entire roof off?

"The Dinosaur's didn't read, look what happened to them"....
Ahhh.... Such a shame the first written language was only invented five & a half thousand years ago... Instead of six thousand when Dinosaurs totally actually really existed.! 😉 😉
Because that's what creationists somehow still believe.!
