[QUOTE="jsl_pt, post: 2747824, member: 19194"] There have been videos posted in previous years threads on these of above ground shelters being rammed with a car going 50-60mph IIRC and it did fine, also had cars dropped from crane. A car or truck WILL NOT be flying in the air at 200MPH or even 80MPH, physics don't add up on that one. The wind speed does not match the speed of suspended objects in the tornado. A car or truck if lifted would be suspended and moving at much lower speeds. Majority of the wind force would be just to suspend or lift the object with the remaining able to circulate or accelerate the object. [/QUOTE]
