First of all, I'm not sure there even WAS a tornado barreling toward me, and we definitely weren't informed of any impending [weather related] doom. Ideally, I could think of a few places I would have RATHER been, but we were stuck in that station.
A tornado wasn't the immediate danger here. The real danger was the frequent and intense lightning. That's what those of us ejected from the station that night were trying to dodge.
Again, what THEY were told or weren't told about the weather really isn't the issue. Neither is the strucural stability of one building versus another. My issue, and the reason for my fear that night, (in the context of the subject at hand) was not only the lightning and debris...but how we were just rudely pushed out- without a suggestion for a safer alternative.
Tornado, microburst, bad thunderstorm- whatever...I felt safer under ANY structure than I did running unprotected down Coney Mall, dodging lightning. And I still feel that the way we were pushed out, to fend for ourselves; was probably not in keeping with PKI policy.
When did this all happen?
