I agree, I would not use it for a shelter. Also it would be real easy to get trapped if you needed to make a quick exit. Interior bathroom or closet is best.

I have always wondered how people bump 5 year old threads.I think it could be a good shelter if it is a built house not a modular home type. Wow talk about old thread. Sorry I cant delete this post.
Fair enough.I forgot that I had went into a section and hit last page and was reading old posts more for information then anything. I replied to this and once I realized what I did I could not delete my post.
Wow, so many ideas for this one...first off I don't believe you're in any more danger of being trapped in a 4' crawlspace than a 7'6'' basement.
Need to get ideas or opinions.
My house has a 4 foot crawl space which I had Americrawl "encapsulate" 3 years ago. I use it for storage and has a dehumidifier placed in the space. Access is through a closet under the main stairs.
Could or should I use this as a tornado shelter?
This is the survival forum. Maybe some threads just don't want to die. Or magic.
For why? If you're trying to get your 50 posts, you might as well post more than 7 words.I would not use as a shelter.
I think crawl spaces make a great tornado shelter, I have never seen pictures of houses where the crawl space was damage. This spring we are going to start making our crawl into a shelter...pouring some concrete and putting up to support beams...if you don't mind me asking how much per sq foot?
