What If? |
|
|
|
These are 3 most likely scenarios to happen if everyone was tornado educated: | |
|
| 1. | They would have gone to low ground and abandoned any cars or easy to lift objects. |
|
| The reason for abandoning cars is because they can be lifted up and smashed easily | |
|
| by such a strong wind force, the people inside wouldn't stand a chance against the tornado | |
|
| If people just followed these simple rules then the deaths rate | |
|
|
for tornados would be a lot less, although the injuries would most likely stay about the same. | |
|
|
||
| 2. | Many people could have forgotten from being over-run by instinct and adrenaline, | |
| this would have caused a big problem and most people would forget what they were taught | ||
| about. Although they would still know the basics of tornados, for example staying low to the | ||
| ground. Most likely they would panic and try to flee in cars but since the cars back then were | ||
| extremely weak the tornado (moving at 70 mph) would easily get them and the car wouldn't | ||
| stand a chance. Even this would still save some lives but not all of them, but this didn't happen | ||
| so it's still a theory of what I think would happen. | ||
| 3. | This is what actually happened. Nobody actually knew what to do or how to survive | |
| in the event of a tornado like this and as a result 695 people died. | ||
| But these people didn't have any warning of the tornado before-hand so it really wasn't | ||
| their fault by not getting ready or having a plan. This was because weather technology | ||
| and satellites weren't invented until the 1980's and current events had no fast way to get around. | ||
| There was nothing really that they could do to save themselves at that time because | ||
| that day would be a day full of split-second decisions which would make or break their future. |
