Atlas Storm Shelters

If the shelter is above ground, be sure to have ear protection stashed inside the shelter.

We keep ear protection, some water, and some food. We also have a bowl for the dog. We also keep a couple of hard hats handy.

Ear protection is a must if it's a steel shelter.

I don't disagree with this but I'm very claustaphopic and will not get into an inground shelter like they set into your garage floors. The oldschool concrete ones placed out in the yard are a little better for me but still don't sit well with me. My thought process is that this modular type is best for a rental house and can also serve a purpose once we are homeowners again. Can't do any inground or permanent above ground stuff where we are now.

What is your suggestion? Bath tub and mattress with two people and two dogs and hope for the best? Serious question.

You get over it real quick when an actual tornado is headed your way. Any of them will be very hot and humid if/when needed. Which is one of many triggers for my claustrophobia. Be sure to buy battery operated fans, etc.
