Tennessee Storm Facts You Need to Know

Tornadoes are unpredictable. Preparing for them shouldn’t be.

Peak Tornado Season

April and May bring the highest tornado activity, with a second peak in November. But Tennessee tornadoes can strike any month.

EF-5 Protection Standard

FEMA-compliant shelters must withstand 250+ MPH winds – stronger than any tornado recorded in Tennessee history.

High-Risk Counties

Davidson, Sumner, Wilson, and Shelby counties see the most tornado activity, but no area of Tennessee is 100% safe.

Installation Timeline

Most residential installations complete within 1-2 days, depending on shelter type and site conditions. Underground shelters require additional excavation time.

When some of the biggest names in America need to protect their people from deadly storms, they turn to the shelters Wolcott installs: built by Survive-A-Storm and trusted in the nation’s highest-risk regions.

Walmart, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy… these are just a few of the Fortune 500 companies and military branches that count on our shelters to safeguard employees when seconds count.

– Erica T., Rutherford County

“We got our below-ground shelter through Wolcott. It’s clean, dry, and feels like a tank. 10/10.”

– Allen B., Knox County

“The team walked us through everything, from financing to final inspection. It felt like working with neighbors who actually cared.”

– Marcus R., Blount County

“Matt’s crew showed up exactly when they said they would. They cut the concrete, installed our shelter, and cleaned up so well you’d never know they were there. Three days later we had our final inspection. Professional from start to finish.

– Jennifer K., Williamson County

“Our Extreme shelter has been through two major storms since installation. Not a drop of water, no rust, door still opens smooth as butter.”

Lisa and Tom H., Sumner County
