Survive-A-Storm TwisterPod Above-Ground Tornado Shelter EF5-Rated
Survive-A-Storm TwisterPod Above-Ground Tornado Shelter EF5-Rated
The Survive-A-Storm TwisterPod is an above-ground tornado shelter engineered to withstand EF5 winds exceeding 250 mph. Built from 3/16" heavy-duty steel and FEMA-compliant, it installs on a concrete slab inside your garage without excavation or major construction.
Its cylindrical steel construction redirects lateral wind forces and flying debris, while the triple-locking door latch, double-welded hinges, and 12-point anchor system with 55,200 lbs of total holding force keep occupants secure. Welded interior benches, a conduit connection port, and a powder-coated finish complete this flood-proof, accessible shelter.
