Those in the garage underground shelters are dangerous. There have been at least two stories on local news over the last couple years about how people have gotten trapped in them because the door to the shelter itself failed. These were in non emergency conditions, folks just went in to try them out after installation. Not to mention that you have to worry about your house collapsing on them, or a broken water supply flooding them. I would not have one.
Now, that said I feel more comfortable with an underground shelter, but as far as the above ground ones go, if they have the Texas Tech stamp of approval then I'm comfortable with them.
