Shelters are "highly recommended" for storm-prone areas, according to Larry Tanner,
research associate for the National Wind Institute at Texas Tech University who studies
how shelters behave in fierce storms. He believes public buildings should have shelters
or safe rooms in areas prone to large storms.
