    Gee, it'd seem like that little button just below the dude's hand might have actually LOCKED the door. But, I'm kinda simple that way

    Strange... I click the link, it opens my Weather Channel App, goes to videos.... then crashes.

    Link played ok, but left me with browser scrips that needed to be stopped.

    I use a bunch of adblockers and so forth on desktop.

    The one standing and not helping must have been the boss. Reminds me of a cartoon where 15 supervisors leave Joe Union to man a shovel in the street pothole... That entire front wall of the window glass is a liability. Darwin award pending for sure.

    A decade ago I had a plate tempered glass worktable and one day a tool got loose. I chased it.

    CRACK! It got my hand with a precision gullitone requiring me to get to the ER. They stuck some needles and tried to stitch it but could not due to the nature of that damage. Taped it and kicked me out.

    First thing I did going home is remove and destroy that plate glass. Its not worth it.

    Woke up during a tornado in south Alabama. Put my clothes on, sat down on driver's seat and buckled up. Figured if it went flying I had a better chance of survival. :eek:
    Never even thought about flying debris...

    A lot of those little knobs don't actually do anything. If the lock has been made electronic badge open then they usually disable the dead bolt.

    There is a memorial in Bruces Texaco east Tulsa OK.

    Tornado came for the place in the early 80's.

    Killed 15 drivers in the trucks out back in the lot. Lifted the entire two story concrete block building. Twisted it and set it back down. The cracks are there to this day.

    One waitress wrapped a elderly couple around a dining room pole who refused to get away from the window as the thing came up across the interstate onto the property.

    Maybe someday I'll live where there is no snow, no tornados and nothing. Just quiet and maybe hot a time or two.

    Apparently some of us in society haven’t learned anything from Joplin (2011),Tuscaloosa/Birmingham (2011) and Bridge Creek/Moore(1999,2013).

    They rebuilt that Bruces. Now it's been torn down again and I think they put a Quik Trip there.
