Message: <blockquote data-quote="OK Corgi Rancher" data-source="post: 3981039" data-attributes="member: 45773">Most above ground shelter doors do open inward.  And there's plenty of real-world examples of above ground shelters surviving F5 (and other) tornadoes...many from right here in OK (specifically in Moore).Above ground shelters are relatively new in relation to below ground shelters.  People are naturally resistant to change.  Most of the so-called downsides to above ground shelters have been shown to be non-issues in real-world experience.  Change is hard for some...myself included for some things.  But when I looked objectively at both types of shelters, it was a no-brainer to me which would be better.  YMMV.</blockquote>
