What would you do with your dog(s) if there was a tornado warning and you didn't have a safe basement or storm shelter? I don't consider our mini basement/crawl space safe. It's very shallow, has 2 tall windows, is too small to get very far away from those windows, and is right under the kitchen and its heavy appliances. As soon as the tornado warning was issued last night, we went up the street to the closest public shelter but we felt terrible for leaving our puppies behind. Even in a crate they bark when around people and most public shelters don't allow loudly barking puppies.
If you own your home, build a storm shelter. If you do not own your home, move to a house that has a basement. No one should live here in tornado alley without shelter. I am notoriously unimpressed with storm warnings and will probably end up like Dorothy some day. Last night, just as the weather was getting ramped up, I went to bed and slept soundly all night.
If I ever should feel it wise to take shelter, and I am at home, I guarantfuckintee, my three girls will be there with me. It's a running joke that, given the time, I would likely bring the horses into the basement also......it is possible with a walk out basement.
