Hurricane Katrina Testimonials
I bought my mini-refuge in July for the upcoming tornado season.
In August, we were surprised to hear it was not a tornado we would
be seeking shelter from, but hurricane Katrina. My family and
I went into our mini-refuge and stayed inside for nearly four
hours.
Whenever we emerged, the damage and destruction was all around
us, but we remained safe despite the forces of Mother Nature.
It proved to be one of the best investments that we ever made.
The price of life greaty outweighs the small amount of money we
spent to obtain this life saving storm shelter.

My family lives about 150 miles north of the MS gulf coast. In Laurel, MS 30 miles SE of my home, wind gusts were measured at 110 mph, but then the device that measures wind speed broke, so actually they don't know the actual wind gust speed.
Most of the damage in our area was from trees, power lines, and homes. We have a huge oak tree in our front yard that could have destroyed our home if it had fell. We went into the "Mini-Refuge" about 1:00 pm and stayed there for 4 hours. We had a feeling of complete safety being there. My husband feels this is the best purchase and investment in our safety that he has ever made.
