Nobody suggested making an amazon warehouse tornado-proof?
You don't build a house to be tornado-proof. You have a tornado shelter. You build it at ground level with sloped sides, or below ground.
Cargo ships have life boats, so do oil rigs. If you've got a warehouse with hundreds of people in an area with lots of tornadoes, you build tornado shelters sufficient to accommodate them.
Cost of doing business in an area where the only reason you were doing business was likely cheap labor and land.
Daddy Bezos has more than enough bucks to build a tornado shelter or two at his warehouses.
- ars 5y agoSigh. There WAS a tornado shelter. And they went there. But tornado shelters can't survive direct hits (which are rare). Are you interested in the facts of the case, or just criticizing anything and everything?
- gremlinsinc 5y agoIf it's underground, how is there a direct hit... did the tornado Tunnel down?
- Nasrudith 5y agoYou are thinking fallaciously in terms of absolutes. Any shelter is better than nothing against a tornado breaking your bones with thrown debris or outright impailing you with a 2x4. A shelter which would suffer only minor damage indirectly but would collapse on a direct hit is superior to nothing.
