Yes..I remember the May third tornadoes!!!!

Spent much time(multiple trips down-hole) in the 'fraidy hole...the house I owned then having an impressive sized cellar in the backyard.

My neighbors ripped the screen door latch off the front door...I was above-ground(at the moment eating a salad..watching the weather/news)..neighbors got scared..grabbed gear..came to use the shelter/cellar...thought I said "come in" when they knocked. I had actually said "just a minute"...but the fellow peeled the screendoor open like a sardine can while I stood there with my salad!..I had locked it so the wind wouldn't tear it off.

No deal...they had much beer...we all went down the 'fraidy-hole' again and drank beer until after dark.

During that little episode of bad weather and disaster we probably spent like 6 hours underground in total.

That's about all the gear I ever had in a shelter before..chairs..beer..our butts..and lanterns and flashlights..some pillows for the kids.
