There are several who they haven't been able to identify yet.

Why on earth would you take shelter in a Home Depot? If I were anywhere near one, I'd be running the opposite direction. All that lumber and equipment.... That's nothing but deadly tornado ammo. You might as well take shelter in a bowling ball factory.....
