Well, our building is made of giant concrete blocks that are approx 30 inches thick. If a tornado blows that down, it is going to blow down anything 🙂

Because everyone in Mass has their cell phones off, if we heard the sirens go off we would likely all head over to the school basement. Mass would continue in 15 minutes or so when the danger passes.

Concrete blocks tend to be hollow, and unless your church is fairly new or is in California they’re probably unreinforced.

Not the best place to be.

Trust me, I’m an engineer.
 
This building was built over 100 years ago, was built by huge blocks poured on site, the are solid. Building has withstood so many storms, straight line winds, hurricanes, all of us who work there know if a big storm hits we would head FOR the Church as it is the strongest building in town.
 
Die with Christ in your heart. What more do you want in this life?

But, at Mass you are staying in the presence of God. Why would He want you to run and hide? Or maybe by sending the tornado He is testing your faith?

If the church’s fire alarm went off during Mass, would you evacuate the building? Would you “run and hide” if you did that?
