My house here is 8 inch thick poured concrete walls and roof. It is a bomb shelter! The building codes here require very strong buildings. The house is built to withstand 300 mph winds (except the windows) and a magnitude 8.5 earthquake. I’d pull the typhoon shutters closed over the windows and retreat to the interior hallway.
