[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3980260, member: 27991"] Our garage is 2 car. The outer space is the car garage. The inner area is workshop / storage, no garage door, but brick wall. The hidey hole door is in the garage, the box is under the driveway. The door lifts out to open. The door has a 4" lip to prevent flooding. I spray around the door and turbine for bugs, every 90 days. The box is 10'x10'x6.5'. Wind turbine vent. Battery fan. Battery lights. 2 large, hydraulic bottle jacks. We have had 10 adults and 4 dogs comfortably set out several storms. I have used an underground, away from the house, several times. Middle of the night, in blowing, torrential rain is not fun, but we had shelter. Inside, above ground gets more appealing, the older I get. The last big storm, getting Mom into the hidey hole and then back up the steps was a chore. Type, location is personal choice, but research the structure and installation. I had looked into and designed an above ground, DIY shelter, gun room, loading room; but moved here before building it. [/QUOTE]
