Tennessee tornadoes are up by 280%

Tennessee logged 19 tornadoes in 2024, up from just 5 in 2022 (a 280 % jump in two years.)

FEMA-rated safe rooms hold a perfect record.

Inspectors have documented zero deaths nationwide inside any shelter that meets FEMA P-361 standards.

Warning sirens buy you about 12 minutes.
NOAA puts the average tornado-warning lead time at 13 minutes – time that only pays off if a shelter is steps away.

“Do I Really Need a Storm Shelter in My Neighborhood?”

Tennessee tornadoes don’t follow property lines or respect “safe” neighborhoods. Even areas that haven’t seen tornadoes in decades can be hit without warning. That’s why your shelter isn’t just protection against the “big one” – it’s peace of mind every time the weather radio goes off.

Medium-Risk Areas
Every other Tennessee county. Tornadoes have touched down in all 95 counties since 1950
