How do you breath in there? Is the little vent on top, the only source of air? What if that gets covered by debris?

Who did you use for the storm shelter? We close on our house in Edmond next week and we've been getting prices from several places.

Vent has very small holes and it comes with a fan you install on the roof of the shelter.

Fan work on a battery?

Just looking at that small space with the small vent gives me the claustrocreeps, but it's better to be safe and alive.

The schools my kids go to have shelter 'rooms' that each grade goes to in the event of a tornado. I think that's what you were asking maybe.
