Does anyone have or has anyone built a tornado/fallout shelter in their basement and if so how is it or how was it built. Mine is still a work in progress so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The primary purpose is a tornado shelter, even though I'm not in a high risk area we still get high winds and an occasional tornado. Nothing has come close but I figure its still good to be prepared.

Thanks In Advance

Shelter plans are available from FEMA:

Maybe, just maybe FEMA managed to get at least that right!

Sorry Herbg, I guess I should have said I already have the walls up, was just looking for some advice on where to go from there.
I'll have the main things in there such as shelves, bunks, a table. Was just looking for other ideas.
