I've been thinking about building a hurricane category 5 safe room all day.

I thought about starting a thread on FR on the subject, what do you think? Think I should? I'm tired of leaving home.

I think it would be a good thread. If you could ping me to it, I'd be obliged. I've thought the same thing for awhile. It could be potentially expensive, but also save some gray hairs.

Hopefully, you will have several weeks to come up with a good architectural plan, find materials, and build your safe room.

When we build our "cabin" I want a small basement for Tornado weather. I had looked into the safe rooms but I saw what that tornado did in Jerrel. What would keep even an internal safe room from being blown off the foundation?
