My wife wants a storm shelter put in. Has anyone had this done? I really don't know much about them. The ones I've seen are cast concrete, but i haven't priced anything yet. Thoughts?

Local guy is doing a 7x10 underground cast concrete for us for $4100 turn key.
I've seen the above-ground ones that bolt to your concrete foundation, but I've also seen tornadoes sweep a foundation completely clean. If a tornado is strong enough to remove everything above ground level, I don't see myself trusting a shelter bolted to the foundation. And those tiny little pipe capsules they sell at Home Depot? No thanks.
Went through an F1 that tore the chimney off, messed up the roof and knocked fences down about ten years ago. Swore we'd get a shelter but didn't. The Emory tornado missed us, but not by much. After doing search and rescue in Emory and seeing the devastation first hand, we decided $4100 is dirt cheap.Last edited by JP135; 05-21-2017, 05:22 AM.
