re: #99 PT Barnum

I seem to recall reading that a “storm room” was adequate, meaning that it just had to be a room set up in the home that was adequate to withstand the high winds etc. Which just meant it had to have walls sufficiently thick to protect against flying debris and heavy enough to prevent flying away,

With the tornado that hit Moore, it’s hard to imagine an above-ground room that would be feasible to put in a house that could have survived. There was a square mile area of neighborhood that was just completely razed to the ground.

Maybe a reinforced concrete bunker would do it, but that doesn’t make sense in a private house.
