people in the surrounding area all come to town to get into that community shelter. the tulsa world says statewide oklahoma has 77 of these big safe rooms like tushka's scattered around the state. community safe rooms. most funded by fema grants and they are incredibly valuable resources for those communities. that tornado in 2011, the one that nearly everybody survived because of those safe rooms, that tornado wiped out tushka's school entirely so the town had to build a whole new school from the ground up. the superintendent of the school district there told us today the very first question the town asked when they realized they needed to build a new school, first question they ask are where are the safe rooms going to go? where are the safe rooms going to go for the next time a big storm happens because we are pretty sure it might happen here. for the rebuilt school this time around they settled on three big safe rooms. one for each wing of the school so the students in any part of the building can get to the shelter with one-minute's
