Payback ( The wife got me )

[DEMMYM]

Well Ive been married for 15 yrs, and for those 15 yrs me and the wife have had 5 different house's ( yep havent lived in a house for more than 3 yrs ) anyway, In each house the wife has wanted a Tornado Shelter and I have been able to skid by without having to get one.

Well she brought it up again, Once again I told her we didnt need one. This time she got me, We just happened to be in the garage and I was sitting between Misty and Bella ( My Bikes ) and as she raised her brow and looked at both the bikes I saw it coming ( Ohhhhhhhhh but we need these she said ) As I looked at the Bikes and thought to myself I just spent more money on my 240 kit than I will on the shelter I gave in. So I will now be a proud owner of a Tornado Shelter that I will probably never need, and if I do, God help me I will never here the end of it.

Just make sure it has enough room for the other 2 girls to get in also. If the wife get's in, the mistress and her best friend needs space also

Is it the kind that goes in the garage floor, or outside?

Free standing in the Garage, Bolts down to the slab, Not real big, But big enough for the family just in case.

According to this map it doesn't look like a bad idea..

 

[djsin]

you better put the paper work in there too for ins etc

Wouldn't just buying a house with a concrete basement and having an enclosed room w/ no windows make more sense? Tornados can do some pretty gnarly things to structures above ground. I've seen huge trees with 2x4's impaled through them. Of course that means a 6th home....you'd better hide this post from the wife before she gets any more ideas.

Do you have any pics of the tornado shelter that your wife wants? I would like to see how it will protect you and the family if a tornado does strike.
