When it comes to severe weather, some cities just can’t catch a break. Recurring tornadoes in storm prone areas can leave homeowners visibly shaken and second guessing exactly where they should call home. As soon as residents pick up the pieces and debris from one natural disaster, they’re blindsided yet again by monstrous destruction. Such as the case with Lake Charles, La. The charming picturesque southern town was hit yet again by a powerful tornado. More than a dozen homes were damaged before the storm clouds finally receded. With tornadoes growing in frequency and touching every corner of the nation, homeowners will need steel protection to withstand this gauntlet of storms.
Rendezvous With Destruction
Shattered skies are a preamble to chaos and destruction in the Deep South. Darkened horizons fill an ominous void left by previous torrents of turmoil and despair. Tornado sirens elicit a primal, visceral and hopeless response as residents of storm prone areas, yet again, resign themselves to despondency. “Will this be the storm that finally destroys my home? Is this the last time that I will see my family alive?” Ominous foreboding questions linger in the shallow consciousness of homeowners who contend with killer tornadoes every year. Without question, countless Lake Charles residents will reexamine their living situation in wake of yet another destructive tornado.

The Skies Are a Changin’
The very nature of tornadoes continues to change. Meteorologists are in a growing consensus that ‘Tornado Alley’ is now shifting to the southeast. Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas are the new ground zero for killer tornadoes. In addition to hurricanes that are growing in strength and frequency, Deep South residents will also be forced to reckon with their not-so-distant cousins that can be just as deadly. Unlike wide open windswept prairies where storm chasers can easily spot storms, the low rolling hills of the southeast allow tornadoes to easily sneak up on unsuspecting communities. With little room for recourse, homeowners must devise new paths to safety without uprooting altogether. Our vaunted line of steel storm shelters can provide superior protection that can withstand airborne projectiles that are indiscriminately hurled at 250 miles per hour from these unflinching storms.
