Default Thankful For Our Underground Tornado Shelter Last Night!

Last summer we installed a new underground tornado shelter in our garage, and last night we were sitting in it as several medium size tornados came through the Tulsa area. Thankfully none were really close to us, but a fatality and lots of damage in a neighboring community. Looks like the spring tornado season has begun!!

Money well spent! I used to live on Keystone Lake and the storms scared the heck out of me because we lived in a mobile home park. They had a scardy hole but it was so yucky no one wanted to get in it.

So happy you're good. Sending prayers to keep you and your community and the neighboring communities safe. Always gives me chills. I know it does you.

I lived in a mobile home park also. Bunch of us got together and cleaned it up. 2 days later I was at work and my son was at a friends home. They needed to use it. The tornado did a hop skip and jump over the park took 2 trailers out that were for sale. I'll take a scaredy hole versus the other option of blowin with the wind.

Happy to hear all is well with you! Saw the news and we have to be prepared! I guess you never know when Mother Nature is going to throw something at us! We are in the Texas panhandle and lost a great deal in a tornado many years ago, so I am more nervous than ever!
