Concrete Storm Shelters

[David]

I live in Jackson Tenn were we just had a big Tornado.
I'm looking at a Concrete Storm Shelter for $2,400 vs. Steel Shelter
for $7,000 the same size.
I was told by the steel people that the Concrete will leak through over
time.

What is the scoop on that.. Any sites telling me the difference>

Concrete does let water and air seep through... But it's generally not a
huge problem. Either system will outlast you. If needed, you can install a
dry well at the bottom of the shelter or a hand operated sump pump if you
are really worried about being flooded in the shelter... Otherwise,
moisture isn't a huge problem. Just keep it well ventilated.

I work with steel all day. I'd choose steel myself, but that's because I'd
build it myself.

The steel is double the cost. No more being in there I'm going with the
concrete.
