In light of the recent weather...
..here's a link to a FEMA advisory guide and plans for wind-safe (tornados, hurricanes) rooms for the home and small business:
http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=1536
The specs and detail are impressive. The shelters are designed to protect occupants from 250mph momentary gusts and 100 mph impact with 2x4 projectiles.
Check out the area by area risk assessment in the FEMA booklet. FWIW, Raleigh= high risk.
