It’s never too early to begin thinking about storm season. Every year, tornados wreak havoc across the heartland and southeast, racking up millions of dollars in unforeseen damage and chaos. And just because you don’t live in “Tornado Alley” doesn’t mean you are out of harm’s way. Quiet corners of America, such as Maine and New Hampshire have seen dozens of twisters obliterate New England communities. No one is completely safe from a twister’s reach.
One for the record books…
While winter might be in full throttle, spring is quickly approaching, ushering in another gauntlet of killer storms. Last storm season was definitely one for the record books. More than 60 tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma during May alone, bringing the state’s yearly total to an astonishing 83 twisters. Ohio, which sits well outside “Tornado Alley,” saw 43 tornadoes by June 26. The tornado forecast for 2020 will likely follow suit, as there have already been 89 preliminary reports of tornadic activity nationwide. More than 1,000 storms are expected to touchdown in the U.S. this year alone.
With so much destruction, how you can properly prepare? The truth is tornadoes are completely unpredictable. Storm cells are also unstable as changing airmasses dictate and quickly change the nature and intensity of storms. No one is completely safe from the whirlwinds. We’ve even seen tornadoes touch down near our home office in the mountains of western North Carolina!
Forecasting and doppler radar have made tremendous strides in recent years, but no one can completely protect you from killer tornadoes! That responsibility falls squarely on your shoulders. Fortunately, U.S. Safe Room offers a three-prong steel approach to thwart the effects of all tornadoes regardless of size.
Interior and Exterior Safe Rooms
Every U.S. Safe Room® features premium, Made In The USA steel construction with solid plate 1/4″ steel. Our safe rooms are customizable from a small 4×6 shelter up to a community shelter that can safeguard one hundred people.

Why add just another room when you can add a safe room or custom panic room to your new construction or basement? These units are designed to survive the storm, and can even be placed outside your home on a concrete pad. We never know what tomorrow holds, so don’t wait on a disaster or life-threatening event.
