Storm Shelters for Existing Homes in Texas

Why Get a Storm Shelter?

Living in Texas means being exposed to severe weather conditions, including tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. An in-home shelter provides peace of mind and protection for you and your loved ones.

• Protection From Severe Weather: An in-home shelter provides a secure refuge during storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters.
  
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that you have a designated safe space in your own home can alleviate fear and anxiety during inclement weather.
  
• Convenience: Having a shelter within your home means you can quickly retreat to safety without needing to travel to a separate location.
  
• Enhanced Property Value: The presence of an in-home shelter can increase the resale value of your property, as it's seen as a valuable feature by many homebuyers.
  
• Community Resilience: By setting an example and prioritizing safety, you contribute to building a more resilient community, encouraging others to take proactive measures to protect themselves during emergencies.

If you are in a region in America that is prone to tornadoes, such as Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, it is important that you are confident that you are using the best available structure that provides as near to absolute protection as possible from deadly winds and wind-borne debris associated with extreme-wind events.

Some of the most destructive forces in nature are tornadoes and hurricanes. These types of wind storms can and regularly do cause injuries and death to people who are unable to safely evacuate or retreat to a shelter. According to a study in Climate and Atmospheric Science, by Vittorio A. Gensini of Northern Illinois University and Harold E. Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory, there has been a significant upward trend in tornado frequency from 1979 to 2017 in areas in the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast. It’s more important now than ever to have a safe place for you and your family to go in the event of extreme winds.

Reduced Risk of Flooding

Even if you are in a region of America where it is typically quite dry, flash flooding is always a risk, especially during major storms. Above-ground storm shelters are at a much lower risk of flooding than below-ground shelters, which are rendered totally useless if rain can get in. Imagine having to quickly find cover, but your below-ground storm shelter is flooded and useless.

They’re Large Enough for the Whole Family

Storm shelters and safe rooms come in all sorts of different sizes and types. We already covered the main versions of above-ground storm shelters sold by FamilySAFE Shelters above. Our EF5-tested shelter and safe rooms fit your entire family, including pets! If you had to go to a public storm shelter, it might be full and crowded, on top of the fact that it will almost certainly take much longer to get to in the first place. Getting a storm shelter for your home is a simple choice that is affordable and easy to install in your garage, basement, or other room. Having your own storm shelter or safe room gives you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be protected even when you aren’t there to help.

Excellent for Protecting Valuables

Severe storms threatening to flatten your house are no joke. They can cause unbelievable damage. A storm shelter isn’t just a place for you to go when serious storms hit, it also gives you the ability to protect your valuable belongings and prevent their loss. Your above-ground storm shelter can double as a secure storage unit, when not in use for emergencies.

Easy Installation

Another benefit of above-ground storm shelters and safe rooms is that they are simple and easy to install. Unlike underground shelters, they don’t require you to dig a large hole in your yard or the relocation of utility lines.

Safety & Convenience

If you are still weighing the idea of getting a storm shelter in your home, it’s useful to consider it from the perspective of a risk/reward analysis. If you lack a storm shelter in your home, what risks are you exposing yourself and your family to? Just to name a few:

• Serious personal injury
• Loss of valuables
• Stress and anxiety

Eliminating these risks is a reward that we here at FamilySAFE Shelters think is very worthwhile, even in regions where tornadoes are less common. The safety and convenience an above-ground storm shelter provides you should not be underestimated.
