I have relatives in OK, it almost seems like living in a war zone at times, always on the alert for enemy bombers who can drop one on you with almost no warning at any time. The comparison works even down to the "air raid shelters."

Yes...I was raised with cellars outside away from the home ....I think they called them "root cellars".

Problem in the SE is unless you are in the Delta, you can't see em coming.

I keep planning to have a drop door built into my walk in closet over my cellar which houses my hot water heaters and heating and cooling.
