We are moving to OK soon and need some feedback from you Texans & Okies with tornado experience......oh, I guess KS is tornado alley too. We just returned from a family trip to find a home and there were 4 touch downs within 2 days. :omg: Looks like a long tornado season for us.

We have friends from OH that live in OK now and some have the underground shelters and one has the same room. Not sure which way to go. We signed a one year lease on a home and will be searching for land to build within the next year. We are going to ask the owners of the leased property for permission to install some sort of shelter at our own expense without any expectations of recovering the costs. The way we look at it, it's a small price to pay considering it can save your life, let alone the lives of your children.

So.....which do you prefer and why?

Thanks in advance for your responses. :confused:

Well, we ended up with a storm shelter. Glad to have it and hope we never have to use it. We are going to let the boys finger paint in it and allow them to enter the shelter if we're in the garage just so it's "somewhat" familiar to them. The guy that sold us the shelter said he allowed his kids to become acclimated to it in the event they need to use it.

To be honest, I think we should have built an ark instead of a storm shelter. :rain: Who knew OK would get so much rain?
