[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2490930, member: 42"] Yup. That's my point. I've no doubt that above ground shelters can/could/have survived big storms, but bolting a heavy steel "room" onto a 4" non-reinforced slab poured at 3000 or even 2500 psi with drilled in redheads just isn't a good idea to me (and I do a bit of foundation work for a living, but we usually over-build LOL). FEMA even recommends steel and/or thickened slabs for above ground shelters. [/QUOTE]
