A freestanding (detached) safe room or shelter area that provides a safe area where people can get out of harm’s way of a tornado, thunderstorm, hurricane, or severe weather or storm. The room or shelter provides a safe area until the storm passes. The storm shelter is detached from the home below ground outside, or can be located below a garage slab, home’s slab, basement slab or other area of the home below ground.
