There is a tornado warning north of Waco in Hill County, TX. However Crawford is southwest of Waco. Think they're playing it safe here.

Edit: upon further review, a tornado did threaten that area earlier this afternoon around 1pm CT. That would be another possibility.

The vehicle was driven away and parked next to a tornado shelter. Mr. and Mrs. Bush never went inside.

Now, if they'd just sat in place, then yes, that would have been extremely stupid.
