I'm pretty sure I could make a storm shelter, I'm not sure just how I want to design it. The design between my ears right now has me pouring a slab in a 8x10 hole with hooks around the perimeter and then framing up a box to pour the walls. Then the roof with a vent, good strong thick plate steel door with a good set of steps and a tractor jack fashioned in case of a tree on the door. We're on high ground and have a good slope where I want to build it.

I've also considered a smaller cargo container like what you see coming off these ships that folks are selling these days. Maybe bury it and and pour a slab on top for added strength and possibly use the top slab for a storage building or something. I'm just not sure if it would just rust out before long.

I know I want to make it sealed up good. I've got snakes around the new place and I sure don't want to jump in a storm shelter full of snakes, scorpions and black widows. Armadillos are welcome though.

Talking about what a twister can do to you, those pics of what the flying debris did to some of the homes and cars in Joplin seem to be just as deadly as being crushed by a collapsed structure. Some of those cars look like they had a machine gun pointed at them.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
