Whatever. In tornado alley it’s wise to have an underground shelter you can seek refuge in. Even if one survives a huge storm the aftermath can sometimes be even worse. I wasn’t denigrating anyone. I was remarking that he was more concerned with looting. Material things are not, in my opinion, worth risking life & limb over.

A steel bathtub is often enough. Affordable above ground shelters are a relatively recent development, and high water tables make underground shelters impractical in many areas such as Tulsa (where I grew up) while other areas are blessed with bedrock that reaches the surface (such as the Osage hills west of lake Keystone) also rendering underground shelters impractical.
