The grill, the fridge, the microwave, that one island countertop… I’m floored by how well some things seem to be while the absolute destruction rages around them.
You register with county emergency management so they know where to look for you. My neighbor across the street was trapped with their deep freezer on top of the hatch. They were digging him out when I left.
We are incredibly fortunate that my neighborhood was more recent and upscale. The houses were generally stronger than most developments and only a few didn’t have shelters while in the rest of the town only a few do. Everyone survived and this tornado was absolutely a brutal killer. It was not the kind of storm that just beats you up a bit.
What were the damages?
This is my living room and kitchen, taken standing on top of my bedroom wall which was laying on my bed.
Wow. Crazy. I think I see your bar-b-que in there! Glad you’re okay, OP!
Yeah, the egg cracked so I’m going to have to replace it.

Yeah now I kinda wanna know, how was the food in the fridge?
Being from a not-tornado-prone par of the country, how do storm shelters avoid having debris obstruct the entrance/exit doors?

Not much you can do if it gets obstructed you might have to wait for rescue, the important part is to keep people from harm
That’s insane… Do you have a picture of the shelter?
Yup
