I've thought the same thing Chuck and am surprised, given the long
history of tornadoes in the area, that more homes don't have basements or
at the very least a 5"x5"x5" steel-reinforced concrete "bolt hole" that was
at least partially below grade and have a slide steel door. Those monsters
are truly frightening. They would only cost a few hundred to build at time
of construction and to my mind should be part of the building code in
tornado alley. But you know how that goes.
