Question for those who live in Tornado Alley, you guys have tornado alarms, right? How much notice do you usually get that there's something about to hit?
Are there plenty of secure places to shelter available to the public?
Because in that video there are a lot of people/tards out still on the roads mid-storm instead of hunkering down.

Well, technically, I don't live in "Tornado Alley," (perhaps an extension of it in the Tampa Bay area), but we get plenty of weather alerts, including tornadoes. 'Matter of fact, there was one last evening in my local area. My cable TV company usually broadcasts one of those "Emergency Action Notification" alerts (the "Ennnnnnhh..... Ennnnnnnnh....Ennnnnnh.... BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP" kind of thing). At which point, I check my security cameras to see if there's debris whizzing by or the trees are bending over (which there weren't). Then I check weather.com to look at the RADAR and see what we're dealing with. In the case of last evening, the "Warning" was only for 1/2 hour (23 min. remaining when I got it).

As far as driving goes, unless they have an alert on their smartphone or some other device (or you're listening to the radio), they may not be aware of the alert until it's right on them.

We do not get near as much/early tornado warnings as those folks that get hurricane warnings. ;)
 
That's a pretty good savings over them being here. Between free medical, having anchor babies, gang drug issues, drinking and driving, robbery, rape and the other costs associated with the illegals we're saving a shit ton of money and problems.
I suspect the cable TV, exercise weights, and recreation areas are quite a bit less expensive in those prisons also.

Growing up in rural Arkansas, if we got 5 minutes we were lucky. Hell, I’ve seen twisters on the ground and the town siren still hadn’t gone off growing up. It has gotten better, but hard to spot a funnel, they be tricky

So, everyone will be squared away, I beleive the picture I used is of an F22. The F22’s tail feathers (Vertical stabilizers) are trapezoidal, compared to the F-35’s which are somewhat swept back. The stabilizers are also wider spread due to the twin engines of the 22. (Appreciate @Skunk for the correction, Dyslexia offers so many directional errors)

F-22 does some some of the most insane maneuvering you'll probably ever see.

I live in the Arkansas River Valley. We have sirens that go off when there’s a Tornado Warning. That said , it also goes off when things look alright which keeps us guessing whether there’s actually a tornado inbound. There’s people that get in their shelters when things get sketchy , and those that don’t heed the warning regardless of danger.

20k is less than they were collecting in welfare and free Healthcare.
Add to it the cheapest “state” per prisoner is around 30k on average while the most expensive states are well over 100k per year per prisoner.

It’s a win win to to pay 75k to get them housed somewhere else..never mind 20 and harsh conditions to boot

The people in the video were "deported" under Obama, which is not surprising as fake and staged as the video looks.
Huh? Vid shows them be processed into the CECOT. Facility opened in 2023.
Vid looks staged 'cause it's a edited piece put out by El Salvadoran President Bukele:
 

The guy in the rear needs to be suited up as well.

Switchgear should be modernized to enable remote switching so that putting personnel in potential blast zones will not be needed.

40 cal suits like the front man has on in the video are the heaviest protection available for arc flash as far as I remember from my maintenance days. Sometimes, all the suit does in a blast is keep the body identifiable should the worst happen.

One thing that goes a long way to preventing arc blasts is a good cleaning PM program to keep accumulated dust inside the gear to a minimum.
 
They sure put on a good show. We'll see how long they stay there.

I have an acquaintance who's brother was a policeman in in El Salvador. I think he said he quit after a week. That's as long as it took to see how dangerous it would be, and how dangerous it would be to NOT be dirty. Decided he wanted no part of it.
