Yeah, as mentioned in the various Wikipedia articles 4 companies that do a lot of business in and around Tornado Alley are prepared for it.  The others are Home Depot, Lowes, and Wal-Mart.<p>The latter is the one I know the most about, it&#x27;s based in the north-west most county in Arkansas, 3 counties due south of Joplin, MO, where we enjoyed an EF-5 tornado in 2011, and they have serious plans which they get to put into operation all too often.  Not as quickly and directly as Waffle House, but with all their logistics resources its easy to surge food, water, etc. as soon as the roads are open.<p>Ah, the Joplin Home Depot was in the zone of total destruction, but our Lowes was untouched, and the company surged many, many employees to it, it was <i>really</i> busy in the days and months afterwards.
