It was full of roaches and my wife at the time would never go near it until a direct hit from Hurricane Frederic (33 years ago last night) was due at night and we cleaned it out and stayed in it (her choice), not hearing any wind or noise from the outside. It had an air pump for fresh air. We were in walkie talkie contact with our neighbors who also had one but chose to stay above ground to their regret. When we came out the next morning there were 30 trees down in our yard!
Much like a tornado shelter.

The home i have in Lexington has a huge "safe room" in the basement,built by the previous owner back in the early 60's,i've turned it into my wine cellar.If something catastrophic ever happens i will not know about it, or care,or have to worry about a hangover the next day.Speaking of worry and fear of the future,it's like a rocking chair,it gives you something to do,but it gets you nowhere.Why lose today by being fearful of tomorrow......live,laugh,and love.
