	Personally, I had considered the privies to be the safest building on
the site (True, I'm no engineer, nor have I read the engineering reports
on the buildings).
	All I knew for certain was that it was heavily built of reinforced
cinderblock, had few large expanses of wall without perpendicular walls
for structural support, and best of all, it could not be sealed
wind-tight. I'm not a veteran of tornado country, but I've always heard
one of the greatest dangers is that the partial vaccuum in a tornado
sucks windows and such OUT of the buildings.
