[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3979831, member: 50228"] You don't want an outdoor shelter. Running through hail to get to your shelter, which is damp and full of lizards and snakes, is not as much fun as it sounds. Having had both I'd go for the in-garage shelter any time. You hang a ball from the ceiling to make sure you pull forward enough so you can get in with the vehicle over you. The vehicle is part of your protection from falling and windblown debris. As for rain and gas, with the wind blowing 70+ miles per hour any gas should be blown way off down the county. Rain and other water accumulation is minimal since the sides are sloped upward about 4-6 inches. Only what falls on the top of the shelter (if no vehicle) and runs through the venting, or is blown sideways under the vehicle and through the venting gets through. [/QUOTE]
