2 hours isn't necessary. Most of the times I've flown out of SGF it took longer to get from Long Term Parking to the TSA check-in than through the check-in. If you check-in online and you don't need to check a bag then 30 minutes would do

I've used SGF several times, but not in several years. Depending on day and time you can get through security anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes. The 2 hours is just playing it safe. There isn't much for food and drink past security, so you may want to eat beforehand. You can fill up your water bottle after the checkpoint.

depends on the airline and frequency of flight, time of day, number of workers, etc.

it's better to be safe and give it more time.

if you've got nothing to check as far as luggage, and are on top of it with your boarding pass on your phone (or otherwise), it's no issue. checking bags takes the longest time, as there's sometimes a line.

Depending on where you park in the long term lot it can be a distance to the terminal. This also depends on the time and day.

TSA again, depends on the day and time. 2 hours is enough time to find parking, hopefully you don't have a lot of luggage.

We have flown out of SGF several times. TSA wait times have always been short. Long-term parking is easy, they have lots of it and the parking lot is right across the road from the airport’s entrance (though the parking lot is big and we always end up being a ways out there lol). It’s an incredibly small airport. Show up one hour before boarding and I doubt you have any problems whatsoever.

There are public ones. I used to live on the south side of town, and the two closest were diventures and the library center.

What side of town do you live on?

I imagine there's one close by. As far as I'm aware I think our greatest risk is earlier on, so most businesses should be open in the event we have a tornado.

I live in an apartment. I'm on the bottom floor at least. But it still seems like if a tornado destroyed the apartment building things could fall on me. Like boards and nails.

I wish I knew of a basement or underground shelter I could run to if I needed it. I know you're supposed to be on the bottom floor, towards the center of the building. But that still leaves a lot up to chance. Is there anything I could go to to be safer? I don't know anyone with a shelter I could use. There should be a public one.

It’s unfortunate that motorcycles tend to have a stronger appeal to exactly the kind of motorist who should least be driving them.

(I’m speaking in generalities, of course I know many motorcyclists have no desire to hot rod and are super chill and responsible)

According to some random public comment on Facebook who supposedly witnessed what happened, a motorcyclist was going about 80 down Glenstone and collided with a car pulling out of a parking lot near Chestnut, right on the other side of the bridge.
