Glad everyone made it out. You can find another job. It sure would suck though, especially if your home and vehicle took a hit as well.

That was unexpected. I was looking at the black mass directly behind the view of the building. Then all hell breaks loose from the left side of the video

Looks like concrete "tilt-wall" construction with a metal truss support for the roof decking, the roof is likely sheet metal screwed or welded to the trusses with foam board and rubber for the top material.
Truth be told, you could just about sneeze a hole in it but still, hell of a thing for it to get a direct hit like that. |

The only thing I got out of that is that it would have been safer to be in that car, than that building. Or, it is literally safer to be any place that a Tornado isn't.

“We’ve worked hard to find a path to move forward,” Scott McLain, CEO and president of Garner Industries said. “These layoffs are necessary for us to stay in business. This is an extremely difficult situation. These people are like family.”
"Approximately 70 employees will continue to be employed by the BinMaster operation." People survive the tornado, only to find out half of them are now fired. Found this reading some comments. "The person I know, had been there 20+ years and there was no communication about it, no personal thank you or apology for it. I know it's because of the tornado but there really isn't a lot of consideration. They were locked out of their account while reading the lay off letter. Right after the tornado happened, they said one thing and have done another. Garner didn't make a "hard decision" as they said and it definitely wasn't influenced by familial type of relationship." |

Years ago we had a tornado warning heading towards our shop. Management didnt tell us about it so we'd keep working. COuple of guys play with their phones most the shift (against policy) and went around telling everyone we are under a tornado warning. Plant mgr as pissed the next day when he found out our shift were in the "shelters" for 30 min unil the warning expired.

Had a similar thing happen a number of years ago not far from me. A company about the same size, got a direct hit by a tornado and destroyed the whole structure. All employees survived, virtually unharmed, because they practiced emergency drills and had a concrete reinforced structure in the middle of the building that they all retreated to. Businesses need emergency plans, properly rehearsed on a regular basis AND a suitable, easily reachable structure that is close to wind/tornado proof. Lots of small companies have none of this.

My dad worked there for almost 10 years, retired just a a few months ago. The place was bought out by a investment company about a year ago. They laid almost everyone off today. A lot of good jobs getting outsourced. I have a good friend whose vehicle got destroyed and is now jobless.

Yup, I kind of figured that was the case after reading the CEO's statement about the layoffs. A lot of "family-type" companies tend to do more for their employees after a disaster, especially one that affects the company itself. Layoffs or reduced time/pay still tends to happen unfortunately, but they at least try everything first. I even saw one have a company-wide pay reduction, including the CEO, for a few months when they went through hard times. Once they got through the hard times, pay was back to normal and the reduction period was all back-payed. |

What is the difference between an EF3 and a good old fashioned F3? I get that you can't plan for everything but that seemed like that building failed fairly quickly. What are the code requirements?

I work less than a mile west of Garner. We had a tornado a little over 100 yards from us on the ground but it went around our area and through the neighboring businesses storage yard before jumping over Hwy 6 and dissipating in a farmers field. The wall cloud immediately dropped another funnel and kept moving towards the northeast. The parade of emergency vehicles headed for Garners and into Waverly was impressive. The most unusual sight on my way home was a Lincoln City bus being escorted by LPD cruisers with lights and siren to evacuate the Garner employees to the County Event Center for safety.

I get that you can't plan for everything but that seemed like that building failed fairly quickly. What are the code requirements? The original 1971 scaling was updated in 2007. F = Fujita Scale EF = Enhanced Fujita Scale "The scale has the same basic design as the original Fujita scale—six intensity categories from zero to five, representing increasing degrees of damage. It was revised to reflect better examinations of tornado damage surveys, in order to align wind speeds more closely with associated storm damage. Better standardizing and elucidating what was previously subjective and ambiguous, it also adds more types of structures and vegetation, expands degrees of damage, and better accounts for variables such as differences in construction quality." |
