[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2201801, member: 15643"] I wish I would have walked up and looked at the above ground shelters(safe rooms) that were standing on the slabs in after the Piedmont/Cashion tornado two years ago. They were the only thing left standing on the slabs, not sure if they were custom built or commercial. Looked like giant square septic tanks with steel doors on the side. Not 300y from these slabs I saw the following damage. 4 trucks that were unrecognizable, two of them had no axles, 100y wide strip of steel fence posts bent over at the ground, a 16'-20' two axle trailer with the hitch driven into the creek bank about 5'. Boats, motorcyles, see doo's crushed like cans, asphalt and grass pulled up from the soil, etc. Not sure of the wind speeds of that one (was an F5), it was the same one where the toddler was missing for a couple of days. There was a lot of good picture opportunities, but I don't like to take pics during a S&R. [/QUOTE]
