2. If you are seriously worried about a tornado shelter, thete is a company at Crystal River who makes them. Basically, it is a septic tank (brand new - not used) you keep in your garage - or outdoors if permitted. It has a door on the side and you just go in the concrete septic tank at the first warning and hunker down. No tornado could blow a concrete septic tank over or away.
I will opt for the interior closet.

Don't be so sure about that. The EF5 that hit the Joplin, MO several years ago passed very close to the hospital and twisted the entire substructure of concrete pilings of that building and it was a big building. Entire structure had to be torn down and rebuilt. EVERYTHING in the direct path was flattened in the pathway. I was there the day after helping with search and rescue/recovery.
