Apr 2, 2024

We’re in the transitional season here in Tornado Alley US — where rainfall increases along with the wind and chance of tornadoes. After today, our temps are forecasted to drop by around 30°F. 🙄

At least the trees are budding!

In Indiana, tornadoes are most likely to occur in the late afternoon or evening, but they can happen at any time of day. It’s essential to stay informed about weather conditions and to have a plan in place in case of severe weather warnings.

I’d LOVE to have a storm shelter with access in the garage part of this structure. I even priced installation finding that costs vary from $4K – $15K. I’ve never stood in the bathtub (the safest place in every home I’ve owned) for safety in all my years on earth. I figure a storm shelter would likely be the same… I wouldn’t know if I should actually get in until after I’d already blown away.
