i'm surprised you guys had so much trouble with the storm plot. having lived just about my whole life in the midwest and the last few years here in the middle of tornado alley, a situation like that is not uncommon at all.
years back, in illinois we had a gustnado (not quite a tornado but packed 130mph winds) and it blew apart the commercial building next to our house. the roof structure broke off and hit a large tree in our back yard knocking it over. was a total mess. yet our house only sustained debris damage from the collapsed structure. no wind damage.
crazy stuff like that happens with tornadoes and such. it often plays on the minds of survivors as they see houses across the street destroyed but their own 100% ok.
with that said, i do agree the writing in general was weak. i didnt realize they were battling severe weather until the morning. i just assumed the night time event was a battle against walkers that saw the light from their fires.
