You can't use this particular shelter for a nuclear bunker. Bunkers need are usually totally underground,and have special ventilation system.

I course, I live in the PNW, so not in tornado country, although, we get frequent dust devils. Can it also be used as a nuclear bunker?Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16924988248364848607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709809754356131123.post-16477663875899898582017-03-21T04:30:10.695-05:002017-03-21T04:30:10.695-05:00Very exciting to move and start getting things in ...Very exciting to move and start getting things in order.

They're many Tornado Shelter companies who have long waiting lists, we were surprised it only took one week from purchase to installation.

It's totally priceless!!! I think I would opt for the steel/metal over fiberglass. My motto is try to have several uses for items you make or purchase, and the shelter will be used for safety and food storage.

The price includes the installation, and a 10 year warranty from leaks, cracks, floating, and breakage. I'm thinking we'll paint it the color of the house, and put some sod around the sides with possibly flowers.<br /><br />Experimentation and research will be the way to go to figure out what veggies and fruit will survive underground in Oklahoma.<br />Hugs,<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709809754356131123.post-68718020225374352232017-03-20T22:55:46.845-05:002017-03-20T22:55:46.845-05:00Kymber,

My plan is to use a portion for vegetable storage in boxes, and on shelves. <br />Sending hugs and love to you both.<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709809754356131123.post-61357622621147542812017-03-20T22:54:06.456-05:002017-03-20T22:54:06.456-05:00Hey Lady,

We have to have metal or fiberglass here for in-ground shelters, concrete gets too wet for us down this way. I was born in Oklahoma and both grandparents had shelters and so did a lot of other relatives. We moved away when I was young but there were many times we visited and had to take shelter. I love how you will store veggies, very smart. Stock it with the essentials and you'll never have to worry about an emergency again. <br /><br />Thanks so much for posting, I'm off to watch them all again. :-)<br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709809754356131123.post-89345058765689809002017-03-18T08:02:37.994-05:002017-03-18T08:02:37.994-05:00Very interesting!

Don't blame you one bit for going to the expense of having this.<br /><br />And it will be fun to see just what veggies you can store in there.
