[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2209228, member: 42"] Good point, but just saying there haven't been failures only paints part of the picture. What I'd like to see is just how many above ground shelters have been subjected to EF-4 or 5 direct hits and what the result was. In other words, all the anecdotal stuff is worthless. Where's the empirical data? Someone's got to have it collected, somewhere. If I ever build new again, I'd like an above ground but right now the money doesn't even out in terms of what kind of protection $3K gets me for an underground shelter vs. $3K in an above ground.
