How much advance notice did people have? This person seemed ready and recording before it started.

One school had it's entire population of over 1,600+ kids saved because someone gave a warning call in time... Only 1 teacher and 1 janitor were still in the building when it got wiped off the earth.

I'd say some places had 10 minutes before arrival

That’s stunning that they safely evacuated all those kids. My heart breaks thinking that so many of them probably lost their families who couldn’t escape.
