![]() Her answer "RUM and a couple cans of Coke" I can see where her priorities are. I asked my wife what she wanted to be put in the shelter. I've come up with a waterproof mount that the camera and antenna will attach to that turns so I can turn the camera from inside and the part of the mount with the camera and antenna can be removed and stowed in the off season. There will also to an antenna mounted to the top of the shelter for the TV reception all routed through the same hole. The marine battery will power the TV and the DC fan as well. The other times we have been in shelter with the door closed, We had no way of seeing what's going on outside without opening the door so how about a single wide angle surveillance camera mounted to the top of the shelter? I will pop a hole in the top of the shelter and route the two wires from the camera through the hole and they will hook to a marine battery for power and plug in to the TV for video and now I can see what's going on outside without opening the door. I also ordered some fold up shelf brackets to put the TV and fan on and it will fold up out of the way when not in use. My wife about lost her mind when I told her I bought one of those but when you gotta go, ya gotta go. What if my wife or I needed to use the bathroom while we're down there? How about a 5 gallon bucket toilet just in case? On the way. How about a DC powered fan, Yep, got that on order. Ok, but a little DC powered over the air TV seems much more reasonable. Now the techy side of me says we need a weather radio. How about a little plastic cabinet to store things in? Yep, on order. I have ordered some plastic wall mount foldup shower chairs to reside in the shelter. Seems reasonable right? Still not enough. When I decided to have a shelter installed, my brain started running as to what needs to be in the shelter in the event we are suck down there for very long. OK allot OCD just having a fraidy hole to escape to is not complete enough. So they come out and dig a hole and drop a concrete shelter in to the hole. In past years, My wife and I have sheltered in neighbors shelters but we had warning but what if we had little or no warning of an impending tornado threat? Answer, get our own shelter which is exactly what's going to happen tomorrow. Needless to say I rode out the tornado in a closet and I survived. Back in 2010, I went through a tornado here in Oklahoma. How many of you have storm shelters? What do you put in your storm shelter? This is a loaded question to say the least.
