This is pretty much the way we did it when I was a kid. Got our butts down the shelter with maybe a flashlight or two. I don't recall we had much gear down the cellar...benches along the wall and a chair. The well's bladder tank was in the cellar and it had a fawcet plumbed in the piping. We stored some produce down the cellar...but not all the time.

Seems like we had bad storms frequently in the mid-late sixtys thru the early seventys...spent quite a bit of time down-hole.
