I've already said the next house we get we will have one for sure. Hard to want to install one in a house we don't plan to be in in a year
Ridge, It's quite obvious that you're insane and evidently have never watched Travis Meyer and his fateful warnings. Fools who don't prepare will not suffer lightly in this wind-swept, disaster prone corridor.
I, for one, am building an in-ground shelter INSIDE my safe room. Hell I might just put a floor safe in the bottom of it too!
Wait! Eff that... I'm going to put my whole house inside a big fawking safe room with an in-ground shelter that has a floor safe in it.
It's going to have indoor plumbing complete with one of those fancy no-water urinals like they have at the fairgrounds, a backup generator, 32 days supply of Frosted Flakes, cat food, 6 Life Straws (one for each of us + a backup) and the complete Sanford & Son series on DVD.
You've been warned Ridgehunter... pay heed or you'll be buried alive with nothing but old lady pee as sustenance.
Here is a pic of the Shelter. I had it installed before I tiled the garage so that it had a better "seal" and it stays pretty clean. You can also get a magnetic cover for it...
100% agree on this statement. Ground Zero is installing ours on 3-6. I picked theirs because of the quality & the model we picked is 1' longer for the same price. But as far as their customer service, it's horrible. Good luck getting anybody to call you back. The only way you can talk to somebody is if they happen to answer the phone. They have called me twice to confirm a install date for the next day, of which I never had that install date. Glad to hear the installation & everything was great, but their office people need to take some customer service lessons from HMFIC!
I can teach them a thing or two.OK, I'm changing my position now. Travis Meyer came to me in a dream last night and admitted that he's full of it. It was sad, seeing him like that all broken and weeping, but nonetheless...
Now, my toranado preparedness plan is simple yet effective. I'm going to build a Stormtrooper Samurai outfit to combat flying debris and zip tie myself to the nearest gas pipe a-la-"twister". I figure if I add a Camelbak, then I can curse the wind for up to 26 hours if need be. The armor has the added benefit of internal whiz containment.

Two ways the 2 meter can get you into trouble there:
1: You're going to have to wait for all of the old farts to finish talking about their medical problems and tomato plants before they'll let you call for help anyways.
2: You'll get a hold of some ARES whackers who will drive right over with flashy orange lights on top of their cars to get you out. However, your shelter won't be able to support a dozen 500lb men standing on top of it and will collapse.

Dude, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
They strapped themselves to a WATER line in Twister, not a GAS line.
