I was wandering Home Depot yesterday and discovered they offer a new service: Installing safe rooms for your house.

From Consumer Reports review:
"The rooms, available in rectangular configurations with a maximum external footprint of 169 square feet, are reinforced with supertough Kevlar. The manufacturer claims they meet Federal Emergency Management Agency National Performance Criteria for hurricane and tornado shelters. (That means, for instance, that the shelter can withstand the impact from a 15-pound 2x4 moving at 100 mph, the speed that a 250-mph wind would carry a building timber.) DuPont estimates the cost to convert a room to a shelter or add one to a new home will be about $6,500 to $14,000. Custom versions will also be available, and all models are installed by authorized dealers."

This service is currently only available in Houston. Man, I'd love to redo the master closet into something like this.
