Yep, it has to be a personal family-level plan you have formulated in advance based on your circumstances. With an advance plan and in the special type of event, it can be and sometimes is certainly a good safety plan. Everyone in the know, fortunately, agrees that it's just not something I can stand on that green wall and tell everyone in the path of a violent tornado to do less than 30 minutes in advance, because the roads would be gridlocked in even a medium to smaller sized town.Hopefully community shelters will continue to become more common and personal ones will become much more affordable.
I can absolutely see taking myself and my family to the new community shelter located 2.9 miles away if it's a day with strong potential and there's a confirmed tornado 30+ minutes away.
If I was staring down a monster like the storms on 4/27 or last night, heck yeah, I'd "evacuate" like you two mention. But I've also intercepted a number of tornadoes before and used to chase frequently. It would be a last ditch effort. Don't know how much I trust our community shelter just yet. Construction isn't quite finished yet but when it is I'm going to go check it out and see if the GC did good work.
