Hope everyone is safe! That tornado ripped that door off and even broke it! Geez!

Must’ve been scary for those students while in shelter! 😟🌪️

Nobody was prepared when the tornado hit. Everyone crapped themselves. Hopefully they found shelters? Like hide underneath their tables.

I thought I was going to see a bunch of kids flying in the air

scariest thing is when the wind and lighting set part of the school on fire from boilers and gas line and the staff don't know how to deal with it and half the kids inside and half outside! They finally brought them into the section of the school that didn't have any smoke. Teachers were panicking we were in the hallway and the janitor came up running "we have to get these kids out of here right now" the others saying we can't cause the tornado is right outside" and kids from my class were crying. It really felt like the end of the world that was all over in probably less then 5 minutes but feels longer with adrenaline panic etc. This was in Ontario Canada in Waterloo. The tornado was about have a mile into the back woods towards Elmira behind the school fields. It was darker then night in the middle of the day with 4 to 6 inches of rain water on the ground and strobe lightning. Feel sorry for the kids in the portables, they tried to come in on the east end where the boiler gas line issue was going on. It was close to time to leave home I never saw what happened with it. Pretty frightening thing to go through as as little kid and opened my mind to the fact that these places really are ill prepared to deal with how these things turn out. If memory serves me correct lighting actually hit the boiler so things were smoking from the heat janitor didn't have the time to waste guessing that it wouldn't catch fire cause it probably could have especially if the gas line was leaking. Twisting metal from wind can also make sparks so I understand the concern if the tornado had gotten close enough or something.

🤦‍♂INSANITY - Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results ~ Einstein. 1) Brand New school built in tornado alley with no more protection than school built in 1900, 2) hopefully students/staff were given a heads up - sirens - to seek shelter before damage was done.
