[QUOTE="HKCHEF, post: 1537392, member: 4684"] To me buying a shelter is very similar to buying a safe or RSC. The below ground shelters are comparative to a TL rated safe were a above ground shelter is like buying a RSC. False sense of security IMO with the above ground shelters. Tornados throw more then 2x4's, those videos of wood being shot at the above ground shelter seems so pointless. Drive a truck into a above ground shelter and see what happens or shoot a 10000 pound tree at 80 plus mph. Sure they are better then nothing but given the option I see no reason not to go underground. Ground zero and flatsafe both make great products, personally still leaning toward the flatsafe. DYIing the shelter is not a great idea, most of the manufactures will not honor a warranty unless they have installed it. [/QUOTE]
