Default tornado shelters in slab homes

Just wondering... how about a poured concrete with re-bar five X five x six foot room (walls,ceiling, heavy duty steel door with a very small steel two position damper to allow for air changes if you are in there too long but from what I hear tornadoes go by pretty fast as opposed to hurricanes).
Could be installed in the garage could be used for storage (light stuff that could be chucked out quickly). I would also consider converting my walk in closet. I don't think we are talking about that much money considering the alternative. Probably cheaper than a new bird cage.
