[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 44027, member: 39"] I guess we’re all saying the same thing. I’ve never heard of anybody building storm shelters for cattle. A tornado can take out just about anything a private person might build above ground. But it can’t touch a cellar. For livestock the woods and brakes in the bottoms provide a lot more shelter from northers than most people think but of course they’re no match for a tornado. The twister that Bill mentioned was in Jarrell on I-35. It was a small community that took a direct hit in the late 90s. I think that storm killed about 30 people. I drove through a few days afterwards, there was basically nothing left of the community. Just roads, driveways, foundations and tree stumps. Houses and cars were gone. There were a few spots where it looked like the pavement had been stripped down to the road bed. But if any of them would have had cellars they would have lived. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
