Some dummy on the street behind us and down a few house had a bomb.tornado shelter installed underground in his backyard. Somehow, it has stopped all the drainage from all the yards to the stormwater drains, so now when it rains everyones back yards hold a ton of water. When we had the flood, the shelter filled up. Doesn't sound to "safe" to me. I'm like Qwacker, I'd like an above ground safe room.

You mean like "duck and cover?"

Who's the genius who came up with that idea??? {#emotions_dlg.lol}

You might not be so thrilled with an above ground shelter when you saw a semi-trailer truck coming at you at 300 mph. The kind of tornadoes we have where I live pack the highest winds recorded sometimes. You cannot believe what these can do. Most of us want to go to ground when a big one is coming.
