[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2125912, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]OK. Just for the sake of information, I would NEVER install a shelter in my garage. The predominate direction of most tornadoes are from the Southwest, so I would install an outdoor shelter on the Southwest side of the house and away from any trees from the Southwest. If your home were to collapse, you would be trapped under the rubble. Yes, many communities may allow residents to register their shelter and its location to be checked by law enforcement or other community workers, but how long might it take for them to go around to all the locations? Back many, many years ago, my Mother-in-Law was trapped in a shelter by a tree that had fallen over. She was just a young child at the time. It took all the adults in the shelter pushing against the door to open it just enough for her to escape and walk several miles to the next farm for help. After that, she refused to ever go into another shelter. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
