OK, I'll admit to getting a little gunshy with the spring we are having tornado-wise. If we make it through tonight, I'm seriously considering putting in a storm shelter at the house for the family. From my online research it looks like my best option will be one that goes into the garage floor (if it is possible with the Williamson Co. rock).
Do any of you folks have any experience or recommendations on companies to install one for me?

All I've seen are the big fiberglass spheres that you bury in the dirt. Then again, we don't have rock in Memphis.

I think those are probably the cheapest option, but I doubt I could convince the family to run out in the lightening and rain to get in one every time the siren goes off.
I'll never buy another house without a basement.

Yeah....not buying anything from a guy that doesn't even grasp simple grammar.

It don't take grammar to dig a hole and drop a box in!

I was just posting the link to see if he was interested. Doesn't matter to me if you buy one or not. Not everyone can be as smart as the people here on TNdeer...

scn, whichever way you go, make sure someone (or several)knows exactly where it is located. That way if something happens, and it's buried in debris, they will know where to look. I think that is why they can't find a lot of people in Mo.
