But before we get too critical of people who don't build shelters, let us keep in mind that a considerable fraction of the people in the US are living in poverty.

1. I'm not critical of them - but they should live with the results of not building one without whining unduly. What do they expect in tornado alley? They've never seen the results of a tornado before?

2. If Oklahoma wasn't a very "Red" state infested with anti-tax, anti-government TeaPublicans and Fundagelicals, perhaps community shelters could be built - and especially shelters at scools - and shelters could be legally required for businesses with more than x employees.
