It's creeping up on tornado season here, yet again. It seems like the idea for a community shelter was a good thought after all, at least to some.

This shelter will hold 96 people and can withstand an F5, it also has a generator.(Not pictured) The cost is $90k.
This one is in the Hebron community.















I'm not sure if this is an actual shelter site or just a storage site for shelters before installation.




















Here's an inside shot.































Here is a clever solution for those living in a mobile home.

I don't know how safe I'd feel in those shelters.

I thought we weren't in too much of a tornado area until an F4 roared through just a few miles southwest of our neighborhood. Utter devastation.

Now whenever I hear a warning on the weather radio, it's directly into the basement we go.

If you have the option to get in a basement then your odds of NOT getting hurt went up significantly. The very first picture I posted was not a completed shelter. When it's finished there will be dirt and grass or gravel mounded up on both sides of the shelter.
