We have them a couple times a year in the plant where I spend about half my time. Try cramming 30 guys in a 2 stall bathroom for a half hour!
A couple years ago I was at an April meeting at a small motel/marina on Lake Guntersville, AL. They tried to send us to the basement as tornados surrounded us but it was too damp, dark and nasty; no one would go down there. We all stood at the top of the stairs and waited for things to pass. No pandemonium; all locals and used to the drill.
