We had a shelter put in our home in Ocala and felt it was worth the peace of mind as we lived through a tornado many years ago. The shelter was under my garage floor, approximately 7' long, 4' wide and 5' deep. It had a sliding top and stairs for access. Made of powder-coated steel and integrated into the floor with rebar, I felt it was a quality product.

I believe the unit itself was made it either Oklahoma or Nebraska but the person I worked with was actually here in TV. Her name is Pat Tripp and I believe you can contact her at: pattripp@tornadoshelters.biz. If not, let me know as I'm sure I can find a phone number for her. Let me know if you have any questions.
