Default Tornado Shelter

I didn't need to move my car if I had to get into my shelter. True, it's under your car but the stairs going into it are actually behind your car. (They start the hole about a foot from your garage door so that really isn't an issue.)

I certainly wouldn't try to talk anyone into investing in one but for those of us who have had close calls with a tornadoes they do provide piece of mind. I've been in my home numerous times when the weather radio went off and appreciated the opportunity to get into a safe environment if needed. Oh, it was a real plus when we sold our home and I believe made the eventual buyers choose our home over comparable homes without it.
