I use a solar fence to keep my poultry in, I also have solar shop lights, they work very nicely! Gas generator, if there is a need.
@@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me I can charge my flashlight in about 15 minutes. It takes about a day and a half to charge lights through solar energy. When it comes to Tornadoes you only have minutes to react I know because I live in Texas.
Thank goodness your ok and you had your shelter. I live in Ohio right in tornado alley and we don’t have NOTHING to run and escape too. None of my neighbors have a shelter either. So I honestly don’t know where bet would go too.
@@adalineburke5474 he don’t have a center room in our house. We live in an old colonial type style home where we have no center room or even a closet in the center of our home. My husband says that he is going to build a shelter but just worry between now and before it is finished . And we also only have one car as of right now as well. And the size of these monster tornadoes is just crazy. What did they say it’s 4.5 miles wide! That’s one huge bad boy plus the fact that we are getting more and more tornadoes 🌪 it all scares me.
I know I dont have an inkling of your financial life, and I bet you've already talked about this with your husband, but yanno, just in case: Life is more valuable and precious than anything else. Vital basic needs aside, I'd suggest putting as much $ aside as possible and doing without what you can until that shelter is built. ❤️ Lord prevent you ever need to use it but it'll take all fears away knowing it's there. And the comfort you'll both have knowing in the future, it can save someone else or even another family who buys the home whenever you move away or pass on. A shelter is a important (and loving towards future folk) thing to have. Ps: underground is great. There's also above ground for inside the home as well. I think those are the more costly ones though. No matter which you get, be sure to cycle the water and food you keep down there so it's always fresh. ❤️🙏
If he were actually prepared, he would have a battery operated Coleman lantern down there, spare pairs of shoes and clothes, the flip-flops aren't going to cut it when you get out. Glad you all are safe
Wow 150 mph wind gusts. That would rip roofs off as well. I told my wife if our house is ever gone we will build underground. No point in building above ground again.
Say we have a storm shelter here at my place it's a community storm shelter but I will never fully trust a storm shelter unless it's below ground. How do y'all feel about the storm shelters above ground are they just as safe I know engineers took time but is it really safer then being underground. In April 27 2011 I was underground I felt safe but in the one above ground I don't feel as safe.
@@GunninWizard same my dad was swept up in his trailer by the April 27 2011 tornado in Town Creek he had just got off work and got in the trailer when it happened. He survived with cuts bruises and one shoe came off but he crawled out and came all the way to the underground shelter we was in at the time. It was absolutely mind boggling what that tornado did I helped pick up rubble his trailer was pulled in from the suction and it had rolled it and twisted the frame he was wrapped up in a comforter in the pantry, My sister was friend's with Aurelia Guzman. She passed away in the storms. She loved playing softball she was a great friend to my sister. May her soul rest in peace. I'm very cautious of storms after that day I was only 7 at the time it impacted it changed many life's. The helping tho the community coming together doing donations for everyone impacted it was a terrible time but it also showed me at that age. People come together and will take the shirt off there back in a time of darkness.
Is this an above the ground shelter? Or underground? I’m going to get an above ground one put in this year. I would like in underground one built but I’m in Mississippi & we flood here a lot so we will get the above ground.
If I did above ground, I'd get one of the dome shaped ones. Tornado just flows right over it like it's not there. I've seen vids of dome shaped houses that survive intact a HUGE tornado while 'square' shaped (normal designs when you imagine what 'house' looks like) homes were swept away.
@@SariennMusic73 It's still a solid structure and F4/5's can suck it up if the ground anchors are not huge and deep and the 'debris field' can smash it to pieces. Go with OZ shelters, they are the best in the world. 40 tons of continuous concrete pour with steel mesh and a deep and wide base. Never failed an F5.
@@GunninWizard Before a warning (usually that means one is on the ground) you get a Tornado Watch which means conditions are right for one. Plenty of time to prepare yourself not to be caught like a beach bum in a tornado.
@@IrminsulMusic you are just making yourself sound stupid. It was middle of the night. We were asleep. Not glued to our phones like your dumb ass seems to be. We actually sleep. Now fuck off. Got no problem humiliating you. If flip flops is what you took from the video do is all a favor and walk into on coming traffic And tell us about the guy with low air in his tire as it runs you over dip shit. Come Back for more I’ll be waiting.
Sir thank you for showing us this. May I humbly recommend something please. I hope you will seriously like immediately get your Family actual MRE’S so you have something self contained with nutrition for if your building comes down over your shelter and you become entrapped until help can dig you out? I ask that because if it was my Family and all I had was a case of green beans they would eat me before they even looked at them!😵 I hope you understand I’m not trying to be critical of you. I just thought 💭 of it when I saw the cans 🥲❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸
@@GunninWizard Outstanding! Thank you for your time and sharing this with us all I live in Washington State we don’t really have much Tornado 🌪 trouble here except Eastern Washington has had them not very often though because of the Cascade Mountains ⛰😏❤️🖖🏼
" I swear to you , if I need to eat ANOTHER can of green cut beans, Dad , , "lol
Thank the good Lord you had a shelter to be in!!
Ohhhhh!! You two ok? Good thing you got your shelter
So far. We keeping an eye out. Was dying down but then picking back up in other counties.
You should get Solar Lights, I had them in my shelter to save on batteries, worked great!
You do know that solar lights require sunlight right?
@@tem3111 yes I do know they require the sun, the ones I bought have batteries to store energy from the sun.
@@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me Why not get a rechargeable flashlight instead.

Scary😱 I'm glad you and your family are safe. 😊🖒❤
That nervous laugh made me sad. Glad you all are okay!
It's not really that surprising there'd be a tornado spotted in Oklahoma. I hope you guys are safe underground.
No it's not but I'm more use to them coming in the Spring time not in the winter.
Thumbs up to having a shelter and a Ecoflow powerstation!
God bless you tho I’m so sorry I’m in Texas😭😭
I'm glad you guys are ok.
Thank God you have that storm shelter

ordered my shelter for garage in Tennessee, the guy we got them from looks like he delivers to Ohio, alamba , Ohio, sc

Glad you all are safe
Get some Twinkies or Devil Dogs down there! Junk food numbs the fear!
Can't Texas just ban that tornado?
We'll get AOC on it right away.
I have my little trap door into my 6x8x6 concrete room. I chilled out in there, during Hurricane Laura's 150mph wind gusts in Iowa, Louisiana.
Wow 150 mph wind gusts. That would rip roofs off as well. I told my wife if our house is ever gone we will build underground. No point in building above ground again.

Nah only below ground for me. I’m sure the above ground ones are designed well. But I need to be underground to feel safe at all.

I'm going to buy some room lights from 5 below and decorate the storm shelter in our garage. You can tape them to the walls or hang them
What kind of radio do you have?
A mini 300 world ban receiver. A little radio I bought ten years ago. Works great.
Is this an above the ground shelter? Or underground? I’m going to get an above ground one put in this year. I would like in underground one built but I’m in Mississippi & we flood here a lot so we will get the above ground.
It is an underground. I’m not to sure how the above ground are in a severe tornado
Check out New Day Storm Shelters based in Tulsa, OK.
@@GunninWizard Oz are the best,pricey mind. Can't beat 30 tons of single pour with full steel inserts.
If I did above ground, I'd get one of the dome shaped ones. Tornado just flows right over it like it's not there. I've seen vids of dome shaped houses that survive intact a HUGE tornado while 'square' shaped (normal designs when you imagine what 'house' looks like) homes were swept away.

What radio is that?
Have supplies if needed
Is this above ground ?
No it’s under ground
Man, their not running out of water any time soon xd
Green beans? You need to stock up on some beer and chips dude!
Plus, if that’s my last meal I’d rather go down in style.
🍪🍩🍿🍫🧁🍰🍮🥧🍦🍜🍕🍟🍝🧇🥐🥯🥨
No lights Sir? even those rechargeable one
We have those Lucy lights.
@@GunninWizard great...
Well we now need nuclear shelters…
Are u ok
yes
Oh wish you had turned off the radio so we could hear it.
Well.... Their safety in knowledge is more vital than us hearing the tornado. There are plenty of vids on RUclips that have the sounds :)
It's also not a good idea to get caught in the path of a tornado with only flip flops on your feet
We’ll when it comes it doesn’t give a lot of notice. Sometimes you got on what you got on.
