There are two things I do understand regarding shelters in that particular area -- one is that the ground is especially hard there, so digging out shelters here isn't as common as in other tornado areas.
The other issue is that apparently these shelters are also prone to flooding .
I don't know if someone else can confirm or deny these. I do know there's at least one video of someone coming out of his shelter to find everything above literally scoured away, so there are *some* shelters there.
What I would love to see is a bookstore where you go in, browse the books there, and then have the option to instantly purchase an ebook version of it (a commission can go to the bookstore, etc). I've had the chance to look it over in my hands to see if I'd like it, but I don't have the additional weight & bookshelf space taken out if I don't wish a hardcopy.
There's also something to be said for sitting down with a book for a bit.

Conspiracy... makes me think of the RICO act. Wouldn't that be rich, applying RICO TO OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!
