Volume warning. You don’t see anything, you just hear it. Here in Austin we’re on limestone so nobody has basements like Chicago. Just slabs. The conventional wisdom is we don’t get enough tornados to worry about it, so on our new house I was just going to have the builder reinforce a crawl space under some stairs with some extra plywood and figured good enough. Then I saw this. I can’t imagine huddling in that space with my family and hearing this approach and being uncertain if I’d done enough to protect them Previous Message To shelter during a tornado. I live in a 100 year old house with a walkout basement so obviously we’d go to the basement away from the walkout side. However most things I read say away from exterior walls. I had been using the basement bathroom as the tornado room but it’s on an exterior wall. No tub in the bathroom. There are no interior small closets or anything.
