texastrain posted:Yes, we take them very seriously. The f5 on May 3, 1999 hit Moore, after near Tuttle and Bridge Creek (home of some Oklahoma Railroad Museum members). That storm took some 50 plus lives, destroyed over 500 homes. The May 20, 2013 f5 through Moore hit two elementary schools, 29 young lives lost. The total was over 35 lives lost, more than 300 homes destroyed, hospital, so much more. Same day Bridge Creek had same storm, f3 stage, pass through town. The day we had flooding and a mesocyclone over the house, May 13, 2015, Bridge Creek had an f3 and f2 pass through, two miles from our property. And so it goes...….. People asked us why we moved to Oklahoma from Missouri Lake of The Ozarks. Because we love the state, the people, and it just got too dang crowded on the lake! LOL!! I had my collection flooded in Houston, Texas in June 2001.. over 4 ft water in house.. managed to save 95% from loss and damage. It really does not matter where you live.... live life to the fullest running trains and trusting in The Lord. Have the shelter dry, clean, and stocked with first aid kit, water, and new bottle Riesling. I have also added in my Henry Big Boy 45-70, Circuit Judge 45LC/410, all in hard cases along with others, ammo in water tight cases for 45-70, 45LC, 410, 44 Special, 556 with extra clips. Yes, we have the largest shelter we could get when 3 car garage and upstairs train room was added on.

If you don’t have a basement, where do you go for somewhat safe shelter?
