[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3693922, member: 45773"] OK... I have no idea if Atlas is any better or worse than any other. Look for a FEMA or Texas Tech approved shelter and you'll be fine assuming it's properly installed. Electrocution isn't really an issue, either...for a couple of reasons. First of all, there probably won't be power. If there is, and a line (or even lightning) contacts the shelter you'll be protected due to the Faraday principle of the surrounding steel cage. Pretty much like how you'll be protected in your car or an airplane during a lightning strike. I'm not trying to argue. But these are all things that were thought of during the development of these approved shelters. I'd prefer to encourage people to protect themselves rather than discourage them. [/QUOTE]
