the full pic
just cut the warehouse in half
I literally just got a bonus for putting antennas on these Amazon warehouses across the country over the last year.
I don’t think they survived.

Unironically. In hurricane prone areas we penetrate and bolt our systems (a big hassle for anyone that deals with big projects and roof penetrations) otherwise it’s just weighted with 150lbs+ because the type of weather to destroy the system with sustained winds would be something like this, total destruction.

And inside that building is wall to wall metal shelving up to 50’. Nearly 1 million square feet of steel barely wide enough for two humans
to walk through for about half sq footage. That place would of been a metal blender. I couldn’t even imagine how loud that would be. being familiar with it, I wouldn’t even know where I would try to go. Probably one of the roof access stairwells and try to get my ass low possible, or one of the major I beam
Supports. They’re big enough you could probably cover yourself well but….would be a ride.

this weekend i asked two plant builders and line managers and their shelter in place facilities is usually the bathroom area in or near the lockers, or the front entrance.
1. tornado shelters are extremely expensive so youll usually have one or two at most
2. it has to be a place EVERYONE goes to (someone from the plant side wouldn't know where the head office is and etc), but everyone goes to the lockerrooms /front entrance.
the amazon warehouse that got ripped, the ppl that survived were told to shelter in place and it was their bathroom, dunno what happened to the 6 that died tho

Yeah I’ve been in the their employee area, shelter in place. Basically office space. It is on the other side of 17”” concrete wall from all the metal shelving though.

yea from what i read their shelter in place worked cuz at least 45 ppl were directed there and lived, after you saw that the fucking tornado dug a trench right through the warehouse, so that was built correctly, otherwise thered be many more deaths.
was it a big enough area to hold 45ppl or more or were they basically in a cramed elevator?

Im old enough to remember when shelter in place locations were bathrooms because the bathtubs in buildings and homes were cast iron or something similarly impenetrable.

Been out of town for a couple days, but my sister-in-laws family had their house destroyed in Kentucky, and her aunt died (heart attack during the tornado). Sister-in-law said that the coroner had a property assessor with them for addresses because there are basically no houses (it's close to the Kentucky Lake). We actually used to live probably 3 minutes south of where it hit, and it's where my wife was living when we met.
Friends of our parents live in Mayfield and their house is not quite a total loss, but the pictures of the neighborhood behind theirs is completely leveled.
Crazy shit.

Fiberglass is common too. I had a cast iron one at my last house weighed an absolute ton and took up massive space. Gave it away and it took 5 guys a long time to move it.
