tornado shelter
Underground safety room
A tornado shelter is a reinforced structure designed to protect occupants from tornadoes and severe storms.
These range from underground bunkers to above-ground safe rooms built to withstand extreme winds and flying debris.
The school herded students into the tornado shelter when the sirens went off.
