vast majority of Oklahomans do not have shelters from tornadoes...”

The ground is not real “dig” friendly in most of Oklahoma. Even here in our part of Texas we had to dig out the clay from our garden space and then replace it with real dirt. But at least we didn’t have rock to deal with and we could use a shovel and not dynamite.

It sounds like a conscious decision to not have underground shelters in Oklahoma. Again, if Oklahomans were really needing/wanting tornado shelters, they could have paid extra five grand to get above-ground shelters. Everybody has priority and cost benefit analysis, including Oklahomans, but media whores want to force their own priority on others.
