The amount of people that don't know what you are suppose to do during a tornado is mind boggling...



There's a difference between not knowing what your are supposed to be doing during a tornado in your home, and what you're supposed to do in an Amazon warehouse. In Illinois, commercial warehouses aren't required to have tornado shelters.

If you grow up in Illinois or anywhere around the midwest, there's a high likelihood you've been through a tornado drill in your childhood.


Well they did have a shelter area. My point was the people that followed the tragedy with horrible tornado advice in order to score political points.


But was it broadcasted to the workers when the tornado warning happened?

Site safety plans typically include things about tornado warnings particularly in Illinois, where tornados are common. It's also common to have a site wide announcement system in case of fire or tornado warnings instructing people where to go and what to do.

Site safety plans typically exist to prevent lawsuits in the first place.
