Tornadoes are becoming more frequent and severe across the United States, leaving homeowners and business owners searching for reliable storm protection. While traditional underground storm shelters have long been the go-to option, above-ground safe rooms have emerged as a safer, more accessible, and equally durable alternative.

At Stronghold by Carnahan-White, we specialize in EF5-rated above-ground safe rooms that provide unmatched protection against the most extreme storms. With nationwide shipping and installation, we ensure that families and businesses across Tornado Alley, the Southeast, and the Midwest have access to high-quality storm shelters.

Why More People Are Choosing Above-Ground Safe Rooms

One of the biggest challenges with underground storm shelters is accessibility. During an emergency, getting to an underground shelter may not be feasible for elderly individuals, children, or those with mobility issues. Above-ground safe rooms eliminate this problem by providing an easy-to-access storm protection solution right inside your home, garage, or business.

Key Benefits of Above-Ground Safe Rooms

• EF5-rated protection, built to withstand 250+ MPH winds and flying debris
• Easily accessible with no need to go outside during a storm
• Customizable with options for size, door placement, and escape hatch location
• Dual-purpose functionality for storm protection, panic room security, and secure storage
• Quick installation with nationwide service

Where Are Safe Rooms Most Needed?

Above-ground safe rooms provide critical protection in states where tornadoes strike most frequently. If you live in one of these regions, having a reinforced safe room could be the difference between life and death.

Top Tornado-Prone States That Benefit from Safe Rooms
