Yep...I've been on a waiting list to get a shelter for a couple months. We live about 40 miles from OKC...and this house is the first I've lived in without an underground shelter of some sort..and we've lived here for seven years without one.
After Piedmont Ok took a hit last year..and the other tornados bouncing around the Oklahoma area(some not far from me!)..we decided to just bite the bullet and get one.
I'm seeing some ideas I like..plastic storage containers for gear being one. I believe I'm going with some camping type collapsible chairs. I have some of these onhand will work for the time being. Probably just put some quanity of bottled water in the shelter.
I've even thought of using Igloo ice chests to store gear and then use as extra seating...I've got lots of ice chests.
