That's an absolutely terrible idea. Trucks are built with thin metal and probably have objects inside, not to mention could be easily lifted off the ground and thrown. In areas that are susceptible to tornados buildings are usually supposed to be built with at least one or two areas that have no windows and reinforced surroundings to hide when tornado alarms go off.
- wyldfire 5y agoYes there definitely was an interior bathroom designed as tornado shelter in this building. While it may or may not have stayed intact, it was your best chance at survival.
- scrose 5y agoI’m pretty sure their comment was based on the almost flawless looking trucks in the rubble…
- jeffbee 5y agoThat is interesting but for all we know there was another row of trucks in the middle part that got picked up and thrown for miles. My Oklahoma high school took a direct hit from a tornado and cars in the parking lot were found wadded up all over town. If a tornado can pick up an Oldsmobile it can pick up a Sprinter. Refer to these photos of what a tornado does to a truck. https://www.washingtonpost.com/photography/interactive/2021/see-damage-caused-by-deadly-quad-state-tornado/?itid=lk_inline_manual_21 https://www.washingtonpost.com/photography/interactive/2021/...

- nerbert 5y agoCorrect. Also I’m ignorant about tornadoes.
