so true. the 9/11 death toll went lower, fwiw. for awhile it was I think around 5,000. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 17:35 1

Schools were calling parents at work to pick up their kids from school early due to pending storms - Epiphany May 21, 17:35 6

  - I was just looking at an article, red clay of the area expands/contracts with moisture and frost, this causes typical basements to crack/leak....but - zeitgeist May 21, 18:31
  - "The relative dearth of storm cellars in Oklahoma may be partially attributed, as things so often can, to environmental factors." - JaxSean May 21, 18:25
  - Fast growing areas and cheap construction. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 17:38
  - Not sure. Cost. Older homes typically have them. - Epiphany May 21, 17:38 1
