Our tornado shelter is in the garage, in the bay where I park the 911. I can pull the 911 forward a bit further than normal, and it is easy access into the shelter. I opened it up, and put the handle in place to be ready. I charged up several flashlights. In the 20 years or so we have had it, we have only gone there once, except the annual spring cleaning to get rid of dead bugs, and leaves that somehow get blown it. It is a steel box, set in several inches of concrete on all sides, and a 1/4 inch thick steel roof and a 1/4 inch thick sliding door. It also has a come along in there mounted to open the door if debris in on top of it. An F5 can strip the house off and leave nothing but the slab. And it can drop a Semi or tractor on top. It is registered wit the city and the fire department know to come look.
