Tornado Tech Above Ground Storm Shelters in Owasso

Owasso Above Ground Storm SheltersFlatSafe’s premier above ground storm shelter (Tornado Tech) has been impact tested for E-5 conditions by independent engineering firms. This above ground storm shelter can be installed in the home, garage, or basement. The Tornado Tech storm shelter doubles as a safe room for homes and community structures in Owasso.

In the past ten years we have seen strong enough storms rip through the Midwest to justify the need for one in every Owasso home. The significant tornadoes back in 2010 were a real life example of how effective these storm shelters can be at saving the lives of families across Oklahoma.

In comparison to the effectiveness of underground storm shelters, the above ground models have stood tall in the face of the storm. Below are some of the additional benefits to consider when purchasing an above ground storm shelter.

Benefits Of Above Ground Storm Shelters

  • Accessing Your Shelter

The above ground storm shelters allow for quick access in the event of a last minute crisis. If installed in the home, they can also be used as a secure room for storing personal items, and a secure room in case of a home invasion. Installing the shelter in the garage is also an option, and also more easily accessible. Often time underground storm shelters are installed beneath the parking area of their residence vehicle. This can be an issue accessing the lid if you are limited on time.

  • Installing Your Shelter

The Tornado Tech above ground storm shelter can be installed just about anywhere in your Owasso property, inside and out. Installing your above ground shelter outdoors and off the base of the residence will take an expert to pour a concrete slab for the construction to be mounted on. If correctly poured and procured, the above ground storm shelters are analyzed and capable of resisting F-5 conditions. The above ground shelters may also be relocated, where as the underground shelters are permanent (or should be).

  • Safety and Connivence

The Tornado Tech above ground storm shelter can double as a secure and storage unit while not in use. Having the ability to access the shelter for alternative use is a connivence not found in the underground storm shelters. The above ground shelters also provide a form of security not found in the underground shelters. The above ground units can seal almost air tight around the floor level, preventing unwanted guests from slithering or crawling in. The underground components feature ventilation panels which allow easy access at ground level for unwanted guests. Based on where you live, these guests are often as dangerous as the storms.
