Hurricane ready ????

[G.M.]

I hope I'm ready. After 2004 hurricane Charlie I decided to build a
shelter so I built this Quonset hut. It is heavy 18 gauge steel all
bolted together with the steel base plate that is held on the footing,
floor which is all poured at once with 1/2" anchor bolts 12"s long down
in the concrete. The rear wall has 3 shelves 4' wide of 3/4" plywood
and 2X6's to form a truss like structure to strengthen the rear wall. The
front wall and doors frames are all heavy to support the front wall. The
overhead door is hurricane rated with heavy cross bars. A 20' piece of
highway guard rail with 2 pins into the floor and 2 large bolts at the top
is placed against the center of the overhead door with a heavy wide cargo
strap from the door runners on each side, over the guard rail to pull the
guard rail tight against the door. My motor home is parked inside. There
are several generators, running water and toilet. If there is nothing else
left Tuesday I expect to see this building standing, hopefully. My main
concern is that most people left the area and no one gets hurt. G.M.
