The recent tornado outbreaks in the Midwest have once again highlighted the destructive force of nature and the importance of being prepared. In a matter of seconds, a tornado can ravage towns, destroy homes, and endanger lives. Amid such devastation, safety is of utmost importance, and one lifesaving solution stands out: above ground storm shelters.
Why Above Ground Shelters?
Unlike traditional underground storm shelters, above ground shelters provided by Pro Storm Shelters are designed to be efficient, fast to install, and require no excavation, offering an excellent alternative for industrial companies looking to secure their facilities and protect their employees quickly.
The cutting-edge design of these shelters takes into consideration the severe weather conditions that are increasingly becoming a threat to safety. Manufactured with industrial-grade materials, these shelters serve as a robust barrier against the overwhelming power of storms.
Exceptional Strength Testing
Based out of Pro Storm Shelters, the shelters are subjected to exceptional testing to ensure they meet and often exceed the standards set by FEMA P-320, FEMA P-361, and ICC-500. This rigorous process includes testing for wind pressure, impact resistance, and structural integrity. For instance, the seamless, 4-inch-thick, steel-reinforced walls and ceiling of these shelters are specifically engineered to shield occupants from high-velocity flying debris—the leading cause of injury and death during tornadoes.
Innovative Features
The above ground storm shelters boast a 250-pound, 3/16-inch thick steel door that’s impervious to wind and debris, ensuring that once it’s shut, nothing gets through. This door is designed to be easily accessible, featuring a three-point locking mechanism that secures it even under the most extreme conditions.
Furthermore, the shelter’s innovative design includes a 6-inch steel-referred floor. This eliminates the need for a concrete pad, saving time and expense, and allows for easy installation at any industrial site.
Saving Time, Money, and Lives
In the aftermath of the Midwest tornadoes, businesses are seeking efficient ways to improve their preparedness plans. Pro Storm Shelters’ solutions are tailored to fit this need by saving companies valuable time and resources. Forget lengthy installations; these shelters can be swiftly delivered and installed without the need for heavy machinery, allowing businesses to quickly adapt to the relentless challenge posed by tornadoes.
Case Studies of Survival
Tornado survivors often recount how above ground storm shelters have been critical to their survival. These shelters have proven to be lifesavers, protecting employees and clients in several life-threatening situations. Real-world events show that when a tornado strikes, having immediate access to a certified storm shelter can be the difference between life and death.

Accessibility is key in emergency situations.
