She said tornado, tho. Aren’t you supposed to look for a ditch? How bad could it have been if her son was still on the second floor of the house? And OP came home within five minutes, so she probably wasn’t pulled over waiting it out.
I’m confused. Is this a guy who totally freaks out at an alert? I live in tornado alley, and while sirens go off probably a half dozen times a year or more, only ONCE did I retreat to the basement. And for good reason, a woman was killed about a mile from me when her car was flipped over. It was this, a three-day outbreak.

…“Phobia” is an irrational fear. Being scared of tornadoes and trying to seek shelter when a tornado alarm goes off on your phone isn’t a “phobia”, it’s a very rational and very normal response.
@Lyle
Ah, true. And maybe the guy has been through a bad one before. My bad.
The scene, as described, doesn’t sound like he was in imminent danger tho; that’s what has me confused.
Side note, my sister had a bad one rip through her area three years ago, and it dropped a six-week-old (ballpark guess) kitten onto her property. Stormy is a gorgeous, spoiled Tortie. What a way to find your forever home.
@Lyle
Not if you’re breaking into people’s homes to seek shelter for a phone alert? OP is leaving out the condition of this tornado. Did it touch down nearby? Or was this just a warning that there was the “potential” of a tornado? Irregardless, breaking into someone’s home is a poor decision. People have died for less, unfortunately.
Why do you think you need to work with Amazon instead of the contractor? The contractor is who you need to talk to and it sounds like they’re willing to work with you. Are they willing to replace the window? If so, you have been made whole.
The driver works for a Delivery Service Partner, or DSP. They are their own entity and are contracted by Amazon to do deliveries in an assigned location/region. I have contacts at Amazon that work with this program, and I’m sure they’d love to hear about this. Feel free to message me.
Does your local news do consumer advocacy stories? Getting the media involved sometimes helps. You can also get advice from Elliot Advocacy. They are legit and can give you advice and take action to help you.
