Storm Shelters - Underground Tornado Shelters in Tennessee
Will Your Family Be Safe During a Tornado?
Perhaps one of the most feared weather phenomenons is the tornado. The unpredictability of a tornado produces terror in many families. Tornadoes are one of nature's most devastating storms, but they do not last long. The average length of a tornado is only five to thirty minutes, but the places they travel are often desolated.
Tornadoes can cause damage with strong winds, debris, and hail and lightening. People have been buried alive by houses or mud picked up and then dropped by a tornado. Smaller objects become damaging projectiles when thrown by tornadoes. It is not only the wind that causes damage in a tornado, but also the hail and lightning that the storm produces. Large hailstones can damage cars and injure people, and lighting can cause fires and electrical problems.
If there is a tornado approaching, what safety measures should you take? First, it is important to realize that there is no specific way to know if a storm is going to produce a tornado. Meteorologists have developed warning systems that tell them if a storm is capable of producing a tornado.
During severe weather, have a weather radio on. If you hear the announcer say there is a tornado watch, that means the conditions are correct for forming a tornado. A tornado warning means a tornado has been spotted. When a storm warning is issued, you and your family should immediately take shelter in a safe location. In advance of the tornado season, prepare your shelter location by stocking it with essential items such as a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, spare batteries, water, and snack food. Always take your cell phone with you to your shelter so you have a means of communication when the land phone and power lines have been cut off.
Tornado shelters provide two kinds of benefits: protection of residents against injury when tornadoes strike and peace of mind with the knowledge that one's family will be safe in the event of a tornado. An underground tornado shelter is your safest option because you are down below the surface when roofs are torn off, homes are picked up and moved and debris is flying through the air at incredible speeds. An underground tornado shelter will not collapse because it is not directly impacted by strong wind, and it is not exposed to falling trees. Once the storm has passed, you can emerge without having to crawl over glass and debris.
