That led me to thinking about hurricanes, tornadoes, invasions of the two-legged kind, etc. So, does anyone have or advise the installation of a storm shelter? Either a closet or a garage type? Link below for reference:

I try not to worry about things I can do nothing about. I let my wife do that and employ selected hearing and or listening. A safe room? We've all seen those movies. I am not that big of a target to justify the expense. Tornado we have a newer home, if I recall the code is 150 mph winds. Should it go to 151 mph I will be looking for the stairs to my nonexistent basement.
