[QUOTE="thebrez1, post: 1566910, member: 11241"] AS a safety consultant, I would highly discourage the use of the units that go in the floor of the garage. Yes, they are easy put in and you can get into most of them even with the car parked in the garage. Here's my big complaint: Gas vapors and natural gas all have vapor densities that cause them to sink. Where is the lowest point in your garage (if you have a shelter put in)? Gases will settle to the lowest point and I have no intention of taking residence in that lowest point! Many above ground shelters are rated for F5. I just got back from Alabama two weeks ago and while driving through an F5 area, noted 3 above ground shelters standing in an area that looked like contractors had come in and cleaned all the slabs off, but it was from the tornado. So they do work, and that is what I have put in. I would prefer an underground shelter but not in the garage. [/QUOTE]
