Storm Shelter

The storm shelter has arrived! We had looked at installing one of these in the Corn Crib and just hadn't been able to yet. I am so excited for the kids, as I watch them open and close it all on their own. I feel this will be a safe place for them, a way they can own their safety once we move back.

This lovely couple from Tennessee brought these pieces of steel, big bolts and some major tools to install this shelter in a corner of the garage. It is actually bolted to the five inches of concrete in the floor. This particular model is ADA compliant and is large enough for seven adults to sit in. These shelters are rated for winds up to 450 mph (our storm was 135 mph).






One step closer to moving in!

    It’s nice to hear that your kids were thrilled to use them. :) You wouldn’t need to get them accustomed to being inside it. Some kids have a problem with that, and it’s painful to see them so fearful during the actual emergency. But do tell them about its importance. That it would be their sanctuary in times of catastrophes. -->Edwina Sybert
