5 Prefab STORM SHELTERS to protect yourself and your family

[@Intuittogo]

That long bunker one is the one I want!!! Room for beds/water/food and space to feel comfortable in with threats of storms coming. Electricity easily installed, great idea.

[@frankirwin2377]

Had one in Texas - Used it once on an approaching stormwhich was very satisfying knowing the safety it i offered.

[@sandie1166]

You missed Safe Sheds. We had an in-ground shelter and it was too difficult to navigate the steps as we got older. We've had a Safe Shed for about 10 years and go in it whenever we have a weather situation that warrants us being in a safe shelter. It's a good size at 8' X 10'. We have Uline shelves in it to hold our camping equipment. We ran electricity to it. There's room for us, two 50lb dogs, and cat. If we're in it for any length of time, we watch a DVD on a portable player.

Did you and the old lady "christen" it yet? ;)

[@crazyfroggie6546]

Having a shelter in you property used to get labelled as a prepper. Now with global politics, having an underground shelter seems the most logical and sensible thing.

As someone who survived the May 3rd tornado outbreak in central Oklahoma and helped rescue victims… underground shelters are the only way to keep safe. Seeing a Suburban in the middle of a 5 acre field, not many things above ground could survive being hit by that.

Even though I’ve lived close to two EF5 tornadoes in Oklahoma. I’ve seen the devastation and I agree if you’re not below ground it’s quite scary. It’s a terrible experience seeing that type of devastation close up. I remember that night very clearly we we left our home because we did not have a shelter and we had to get out of its path. I’m sorry to hear that you had to experience it firsthand. I’m glad you’re OK!

Currently shopping around, I might just build my own though. FEMA has plans online for free, just depends on if I have the time. Definitely easier to just have one delivered though, Atlas has some cool looking bunkers. 😎

[@SvenMolhuijsen1]

@@BloodyKnives66 True. But because of the war in Ukraine and instability of American democracy Europe has to stand on its own and is more united than ever. The only war I see happening is against an outsider. And with Russia being in such bad shape I don't think that chance is big. It's only a matter of time before Russia is kicked out of Ukraine and possibly dissintegrates. I need to cycle to the Germans for cheap booze and drive to the Belgians for cheap gas, turning on them would be such a waste of time. A shelter would only be helpful in case of a nuclear war, in which case we're all f*cked.
