With all the bad things going on in Florida with the weather I was wondering, how many people in Texas have tornado shelters?

Agree. Think there was a large tornado in the Waco(?) area a few years back that sucked up asphalt pavement, etc...
We don't have shelter either. EXtremely expensive for slight probability of one getting to your specific place. Also, any shelters need to be water and varmit tight...and, what if something huge lands on top of your entrance door and you have no phone down there that will work and there you are! Buried alive! ... Until someone just happens to discover you are missing... duh...

Are you two saying you wouldn’t be proud to jump in one if you had a cyclone bearing down on you? Didn’t think so. Same concept as insurance. You spend the time/money and hope you never need it.
I agree with Showmom on this one. We don't build any for the cattle, either. They'll just have to tough it out and drift unless PETA has some kind of grant money available.txshowmom":1yp97duv said:I didn't say I don't want a shelter for myself. I said we don't build shelter for the cattle. We use they brush as shelter for the cattle.

Figure since I'm building a house might as well have the entrance to one of them buggers right there in my garage floor. Wouldn't have to worry about critters and you buy a 4-6 ton post jack and you'll be able to get the water tight hatch open. They are buried in concrete and it would have to be one awful big twister to suck that puppy out of the ground. And my familys life is worth the price of what if.
