[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3981047, member: 43754"] Thank you everyone for sharing your opinions, all food for thought. Wife and I have talked a long time about this issue. Current plan is to go next door and get in daughters below ground garage shelter. Last time we practiced we were just fine getting in, slow but we made it. We are 75 and not as agile as we use to be. We are leaning towards above ground in the Garage. I am new to living in tornado alley. So don't know much more than what I read in the news. We have seen the reports here of concerns with all the shelters-weather, debris build-up, flooding, fire, bugs and snakes. We have seen reports of different kinds actual incidents with all shelters except the above ground. What happens to the above ground shelter in a F5? Any actual incidents to report. Fire. I never associated fire with a tornado hit. Make sense, but don't recall ever seeing a report of fire after a hit. Comments? [/QUOTE]
