Shelters could help in a smaller tornado. They say they are rated safe for an F5 tornado, but after seeing what has happened in other parts of the country recently - you know it would never work. (Although there was an example where one had withstood a very strong tornado and everything else around it was destroyed).

The concrete below ground shelter would be nice, but don't think you can put something like that in Florida with that sandy base.

Guess you just need to go to the closet and pray for a safe outcome.
