A viral video shows an OnCue convenience store in Oklahoma City with its doors locked during a tornado warning, sparking backlash. The video, which has been viewed over 358,000 times, shows people outside the store looking for shelter while the doors remain closed. OnCeue President Laura Aufleger stated that the company's severe weather protocol directs employees to allow all customers inside and outside of the store a place of refuge.
