3. Keep in communication with loved ones.

4. Help others in need.

Things not to do:

Rely on a small business to have a plan for you.

Stand outside of a bar at 10:30 at night thinking you won?t hear a cuss word or two.

Believe a small building with glass panes all over it and 250 drunks is adequate cover in a tornado.

Oh, and while you are in college:

Look both ways before you cross a street. Come in out of the rain.

Proud husband and parent of a family that was near the path of the tornado Saturday who responded correctly.
Bottom line to this situation and just about every situation of the 30 and under crowd. Our current education system from pre-K to post graduate has churned our class after class of students that have been taught what to think, instead of how to think. Almost every process and decision they make is a reaction based on what they?ve been taught to think. Instead of an intake of the information provided -and applying a logical thought process to develop your decision. It is what it is. I?m 35 and am astonished daily of the simple tasks that people have no idea how to think through. The government is getting what they have been working decades to achieve. Millions of thoughtless drones that are waiting for their next instructions.
