My buddy Jerry Pletcher and I discussed adding storm shelters to his various properties this afternoon. I suggested that he could use some shipping containers he already had and modify them to be used in case of tornadoes. All he would have to do is put them into a low area, add some heavy rip rap over them, shoot some gunnite aka concrete into the rip rap, cover with dirt.... You get the idea. Jerry has a lot of different properties, all open to the public. Last year, when Fun Valley Campground was opened, the very day it opened, we had tornadoes that night. I have this big mountain between our house and the direction most tornadoes travel from. However, I will be figuring on putting in our own shelter.
