[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2202483, member: 5412"] Me too, but since its such a serious subject after this disaster, its stayed on track pretty well. Other wise it may have really taken a turn for a fun thread! I like your Ideas. I have a three point post hole digger on the tractor to put the barricade around the front door. Little rebar, and some quickcrete, and its done. Vent pipes. They could be protected by some pipe. I have an emergency radio/light/battery + crank generator, that can charge cell phones, but most likely, the cell towers will be gone as well, at least out here in the country, so we registered our location with the country emergency folks. If one comes through the area, they will come looking. I read in another thread that somebody put a clothes hanger wire in one of the vents, allowing it to hook over the top and the bottom hanging into the shelter to act like an antenna. I'm going to try that tomorrow. We have zero cell reception in the shelter. I stated earlier that I'd sent an email to KFOR about seeing some pics of the storm shelter doors blown or sucked off by the tornado, and for the second day, I've not had a response. Today I emailed Fox 25 after their morning anchors reported the same. No response from them as yet either. [/QUOTE]
