The path of this tornado went mainly through older subdivisions built in the 50's so a lot fewer building codes then and Oklahoma as a state isn't very old. In the country, one would have a root cellar and that would be used during a storm. I see no excuse for at least all new construction to have at least a safe room.
Terrible that there has to be such tragedy for people to finally get the message, but that seems to be the case.
I am afraid this is just a sign of more violent weather and storms to come, not just in Oklahoma. Not sure how everyone everywhere can prepare for whats likely coming. Best they can, I guess. Strong community is invaluable at times like this.
