Thousands or more of Americans already have similar tornado shelters and that's all good. Has been the status quo since the days when electricity was new.

There's nothing you can do to stop tornados, so a bunker is the best place to be in one.

Different requirements though, you skip a tornado by going underground and waiting for it to pass over you.

In a wild fire, extreme heat and lack of oxygen can be a concern, so a simply tornado shelter wouldn't cut it.
