We're expecting high winds. The people with Christmas decorations outside should probably make sure they're well secured.

I find this thread very interesting, Bare, since we live in the Upper Midwest and have a VERY healthy respect for tornados. I saw, within the last week or two, a villa advertised for sale in TV's which had a tornado shelter in the garage floor. I thought what the heck is that..., so I did some googling and came up with this link.

Now I want Mr. Peachie to rip out our garage floor and have one installed, (poor guy), but I want the best protection available from those beasts.
