Yes i think we can all agree on that. These could be used for long term for a few ppl, but the purpose of these two are to protect the town from tornadoes and a storm will come amd pass very quickly, they will be in these shelters for 30 min or so im estimating.
Finally someone has the sense to use a vertical door, and one which opens in instead of out. Very little that can happen to block exiting. Horizontal doors, especially the ones that open out can trap the occupants if something lands or falls on it. I like the perimeter shroud too. Are they fuel tanks?
interesting bit of additional which i can not access because i am in europe is that the 20,000-pound cooling tanks for Google servers were surplus equipment at the company's Pryor.and donated to the town
Who would have thought they could be this simple. This gives me really good ideas on how to do it for my farm. Could be a cheese cave, wine making cellar, or anything until a storm comes. Thank you for this video!
I'm really skeptical if these bunkers would be unlocked and accessible at all hours... like 3 a.m.? Otherwise, there will be corpses stacked outside the doors.
That is really a storm shelter. Looking inside out I can see daylight through ventilation. So that isn't too good. The turbo vent that does exhaust can be ripped off and create a problem for everybody inside. Also the air intake is not filtered . There's only one way in and no other way out. Basically is a storm shelter
They should line that with a Sound absorbing material and put some kind of benches in there. Connect them together. But it was a great idea and can many lives. I lived in Kansas for a while and have seen a few tornadoes. Scare the hell out of me.
I live in Kansas and we have basements, but I am from Tulsa and the water table is too high there for basements. A guy needs a fraidy hole in Tornado Alley... BTW Spavinaw Lake is the Tulsa water supply
that's pretty cool, but my question is, why you didn't put them together and make a door that you can go from one to another? I think it will make them more interesting, but they're done, very nice God bless you
Yeah, not good for bombs or chemical attacks, but probably more than sufficient for tornadoes. It looks like the rain would come right in the top. I guess that is why the drain is there on the bottom? And for cleaning, too. i would put a water pipe in there for fresh water, or keep some water bottles/food in there just in case you get trapped in there for a while.
FoolyLiving a couple bathroom buckets might be good too. An emergency blanket per person, a first aid kit per bunker and a few granola bars and they are set!
Wonderful idea. The storm footage is as real as it gets. When I was four we lived in Nebraska. Mom called us in and when we fussed, she said look over the plant, those are tornadoes. We hit the house running and went straight to the basement!
I wonder if Lowe's sells one that big...lol...just kidding. Mississippi needs these too. Tornadoes scare the crap out of me & I'm smack dab in tornado alley.
We don't have Whole Town Bunkers around here ... you got one or you got a friend or you are on your one ... stay safe. All the best from central Arkansas!
God forbid someone gets thirsty or has to go to the restroom. What if they get stuck in there or debri crushes the ventilation heads? I'm not sure those would save anyone from a huge tornado. Remember that tornado that went through Moore? It tore concrete out of the ground. Those need to be UNDER the ground. Not on top and surrounded by destructible materials. js/
What if you need to use a toilet? Drainage pumps in case of flooding? I know you won't need to stay in there for long and you can't. It's just meant for a brief duck n cover.
How long do you need to be in a shelter? 30min? I think everyone would come running. Great job spavinaw!!!! If that tornado had set down 5 minutes earlier it would have hit us and yes we were in our shelter
It will definitely do the trick when tornado hits. wondering about bathrooms? when that tornado it shoots debris around everywhere fast, it's not playing around. If anyone has gone through a tornado, they appreciate when it's passed and your alive.
Pretty cool man ! I was surprised to see only 2 vents each on top... I looked like there were more when you were inside... I like that the sunk the doors like that so they could not take a direct impact... I doubt anyone would want to be forced to ride out a storm in one, but they would sure be thankful it was there... Thanks so much for sharing ! And also for the BIG 50 birthday wishes earlier ! Appreciate ya brother ! Peace !
How bad do them things feel up with water, referring to the bunkers. I don't see any weep holes. on a downhill slope normally in tornado got a lot of rain. Hope you f****** don't drown.
This would probably be great in most cases but what about EF5s? I read the tornado with the fastest windspeed was 302 mph but there may have been some in the past that were stronger like 350 mph. Some people even believe that some day there will be EF6s.
Looks like repurposed train tanker cars… I dig it. Not sure why they didn’t bury them or secure them slightly better with more concrete but they should be substantial enough to work. At least once.
We have tornadoes here in North Carolina sometimes. But here where I live in the foothills most of the times the mountains block any severe weather off of us.
any idea how much that cost the town to have that built? Also they likely will need a retaining wall on the back side, looks like it is already getting some rain erosion that is washing the gravel off the side.
not sure about the positioning less that 300m from the spavinaw dam if this is for protection from weather I would want it on slightly higher ground as drainage seems to have been taken care off by a drain at the lower end
I'd say you would have to have one hell of an early warning to pack that many people inside before a tornado hits.Very few tornadoes have that much of a warning.
Dutch - Thanks again for the shoutout yesterday and a big THANK YOU to all the folks who came over and subbed our channel. We really do appreciate it. Oh- those are some good looking root cellars! Thanks for sharing!!!!! 😀😀😀
if i was to make such a thing, i would use a two layer door system with a 500 pound door on slide roller that way nothing can get thru, this flimsy door, will collaps under 200 psi and 200mph wind
Tornados are nothing to not be prepared for. While I was in Texas in 1972-74 living at Lackland and Sheppard AFB saw numerous tornados. Back then they only told you to get to bathroom with mattress for debris fall out, as Ican remember now. Granted that was 45 years ago. The barracks back then where the old WW2 buildings. Thankfully nothing ever happened then. Nice to see the citizens and town used their taxes for this.
Karen RN Also at lackland and Shepard in 72. Started arts medic training and later cross trained into pharmacy. Used to watch tornadoes go down the runways. They got hit with an f5 some years ago. Also an RN, closing in on retirement.
Our town in Oklahoma (Tornado Alley) shut down all public storm shelters. The Emergency Management for our county says the new procedure is for everyone to shelter in place. Recently, a 99.5 MILLION school bond was approved by voters which included new FEMA approved storm shelters for 5 schools. The public has to pay for the storm shelters, but the public can not use them according to the Public School main office (I asked before I voted). We took matters in our own hands. We now have an above ground safe room equipped with some beds. By the way, when we registered our storm shelter, our County Emergency Management office told us NOT to rely on them to save us and that you need to arrange with family, friends, and neighbors for them to save you should a disaster occur. Dutch.... Good job on showing storm/bunker shelters. Give people ideal of how they can provide their family some protection. If our state still has the Storm Shelter Rebates & Grants for Tornado pron areas, maybe when you do a video mention that. Might include a disclaimer that each person needs to do their own research on what is right for them. You are good at spelling out the costs and breaking it down for people. Ask people... what is your life and the life of your family worth?
Hi Mr. Thomas.... I like the way you think. People in public office are all about using our money. $14.5 Million of the $99.5 Million is what is allocated for the safe rooms at five of the schools (way over priced??). (I enclosed the article below to document what I am saying.) The bond just got approved in Sept. 2017 so I don't know when they will be built in the future. My understanding is that they will be built on school property for the school children and school personnel. Let me clarify....I have no knowledge of FEMA using the shelters. When I said FEMA approved storm shelter, that met that when they build the shelter they have to meet the guidelines established by FEMA (aka... the construction requirements). The local city is responsible for inspecting the storm shelters and certifying that they meet the FEMA guidelines for building a storm shelter. Years ago when they closed the shelters, they said it was because the new administration (under Obama) came out with new requirements on storm shelters, some having to do with being handy-cap accessible and for that reason, the shelters were all closed. I was told to go back to what we did in the old days. Shelter in place. How stupid is that when you live in Tornado Alley. (Although our city "loud" alarms are still working, I was also told that they don't have to sound those anymore, but local official are still having that done.) I think someone is trying to kill some of us off. Now that new shelters are scheduled to be built and they should comply with the new regulations, they still won't open them up to the public. I wish I was rich enough to sue them, but instead, I put my money into building our own storm shelter which is better for me and my family. That way... when I get to my shelter, I know there is enough room for me, my family & pets. Fyi.... I have been in a public storm shelter. People in this video made several comments. You are all standing up and packed into the shelter. It gets hot and there is no air flow. You can't bring your pets. Most public shelters don't stock water to drink. If you brought water and drink it, then you have no bathroom. Mr. Thomas.... It was a pleasure. Stay safe. www.kswo.com/story/36340756/995-million-school-bond-approved-by-school-board-heads-to-city-wide-vote
"Shelter in place" is one of the stupidest and scariest phrases they have ever come up with. What if there is NO shelter? Why not just say, "oops. you're on your own because we don't give a dam about you"?
lastniceguy1 that's pretty much it, I've relations in Florida that built hurricane shelters into their garages with a fake garage door covering the 16" thick reinforced concrete block walls, two of em ended up living in their 10'x24' shelter when their home was totalled by storm damage, they now live in a double wide fixed to the foundation of their old house :D
lastniceguy1.... Agreed. The "Shelter in Place" came into effect in the Obama administration. I figured Obama was trying to kill some of us off. $20,000.00 dollars later, I have my own above ground safe room to "Shelter in Place" with beds, a little air conditioning, TV, water, composting toilet and OREO's. (Could of done it for less $, but I sure like what I have and when I go in it, I'm not worried about it blowing away.) Stay Safe!
You should be specific and tell to people it is a tornado shelter, not a bunker. A bunker is fore war: Bunker --- a reinforced underground shelter, typically for use in wartime.
Yes and tornado shelters are always used fore tornado sheltering. A long tube with no living arrangements is not a bunker. That shelter cand hold persons fore may be 2 or 3 hours very at most. They will be packed ined as sardines and all standing up to hold all ofed those persons. It ised not even a fallout shelter! It is a very short term tornado SHELTER. But you keept ond dreaming all you do wish, it still will not make it more then it is.
If they think that would hold or service 150 people a piece they're smoking crack. Anyone who grew up in England during WWII during the Blitz will tell you how uncomfortable even fitting 20-30 people in there long term would be. Maybe for an hour, maybe for a short storm, but if you put 150 people in each of those for a week you'd have shit piled up to the roof, bodies rotting, and people murdering each other for bread crumbs due to the complete lack of facilities available and the hugely restricted space. Fitting 350 in both you'd have to be stacking bodies like bloody firewood.
That is a tomb.....You max it out let's say with the 150 people...there is not enough ventilation in those, and then also the body heat will make it way too hot for prolong stays. Since those are for storms...kiss all those cars good bye that people drove in to get there. You are better off having your own storm shelter on your own property. Plus, those, people can get into a lot faster.
Farmall Fanatic man, all the time during the spring. We can have a out break of storms and there could be 30 tornadoes across the state. It can get crazy.
Excuse me but.... Exactly how much people *live* there? 20? Maybe 30? Technically what you're saying that the *entire* town can fit in *both* of those bunkers? The old *WW2* bunkers on Maui in Wailuku are bigger and they come *nowhere* near the holding *capacity* of either Kahului or Wailuku population! Those two bunkers can maybe hold an *entire* average bus load of *tourist* but not an entire town.
I thought from the outside that was just the entrance area and it would open up under ground however then you open up 150+ per tube no thank you would feel safer outside esp with one way in one way out what stopping some nut job blocking you in while he rides around town looting all your stuff.
Yes i think we can all agree on that. These could be used for long term for a few ppl, but the purpose of these two are to protect the town from tornadoes and a storm will come amd pass very quickly, they will be in these shelters for 30 min or so im estimating.

Very nice investment for the town. Like you said, hopefully no tornadoes until someone unlocks it.
I'm really skeptical if these bunkers would be unlocked and accessible at all hours... like 3 a.m.? Otherwise, there will be corpses stacked outside the doors.
Would have been nice to see the locks connected to the local EAS. Who has a key?
I think that the bunkers would be unlocked considering its only a town of 350... I doubt they'd have much a reason to lock them.
That is really a storm shelter. Looking inside out I can see daylight through ventilation. So that isn't too good. The turbo vent that does exhaust can be ripped off and create a problem for everybody inside. Also the air intake is not filtered . There's only one way in and no other way out.

I agree. Those vents are a weak link. This is definitely NOT a bunker. Only a storm shelter. Even a bad tornado could cause problems for this shelter.
They should line that with a Sound absorbing material and put some kind of benches in there. Connect them together. But it was a great idea and can many lives. I lived in Kansas for a while and have seen a few tornadoes. Scare the hell out of me.

My town needs one of these.
You would think the end of those tubes would be covered with dirt also if not debris from a close tornado could go right thru those tansk
Unlikely anything gonna make it thru that is thick steel
I really don’t think 100 people could fit in there but good job for the town for doing this for it’s people
Thanks for sharing this!
that's pretty cool, but my question is, why you didn't put them together and make a door that you can go from one to another? I think it will make them more interesting, but they're done, very nice God bless you

Brian Landers wonder if that's the same God that sends tornadoes in the first place
If they would have used corrugated pipe they would have no echo. You also jeed at least 36 inches of earth above you for radiation protection.
Wonderful idea. The storm footage is as real as it gets. When I was four we lived in Nebraska. Mom called us in and when we fussed, she said look over the plant, those are tornadoes. We hit the house running and went straight to the basement!
I wonder if Lowe's sells one that big...lol...just kidding.
Mississippi needs these too. Tornadoes scare the crap out of me & I'm smack dab in tornado alley.
We built a bunker in our back yard out of 8ft drain pipes.
We don't have Whole Town Bunkers around here ... you got one or you got a friend or you are on your one ... stay safe. All the best from central Arkansas!
Look like great storm shelters.
Awesome!
God forbid someone gets thirsty or has to go to the restroom. What if they get stuck in there or debri crushes the ventilation heads? I'm not sure those would save anyone from a huge tornado.

Thanks for showing us these bunkers! Side note: I love that music. What is it , and wher can I get it?
What if you need to use a toilet? Drainage pumps in case of flooding?
I know you won't need to stay in there for long and you can't. It's just meant for a brief duck n cover.
Brings a new take on the epithet "Spartan". That looks like the inside of a septic tank.
What happens if someone has to take a shit? You just going to shit right there in front of 150 people? I mean come on people! Think.
How long do you need to be in a shelter? 30min? I think everyone would come running. Great job spavinaw!!!! If that tornado had set down 5 minutes earlier it would have hit us and yes we were in our shelter

What are they made out of, looks good for tornadoes
How do they drain the water that runs down the ramp?
Yeah... no i couldnt go in there especially if it had alot of people in them 😱
Should've add one side pipe to have both side just wondering
Doesn't the walk way slope to the doors with no drain ?
A good place for the teens to hotbox

what are you, 40 people in that town? xD
no seating?
Are you from Oklahoma!?
How much does a bunker like that cost?
I didn't catch it - can you repeat the exact GPS coordinates? :-)
where is the town?
One fart away from making 149 people go airborne.
Wouldn't mind having one of those fox hole bunkers
Pretty neat, but question, what happens to the rain water that collects by the doors? ❤️ As usual, great video.
Gaston Cannon they have a drain between the doors that drains out the back
Keeping It Dutch Thanks, I was sure they had, just couldn’t see it. 😎
It would be a tight squeeze but better than flying through the air at 200 MPH !!!
Brother, ya know people in town would bring their pets too!
I think mickey Mantle is from Spavinaw, right?
Yep
What is the name of the town and the name of the bunker manufacturer? I could call the town and ask them the name.

Where's the water-letter-outer for the tanks themselves?
That's a small town alright, how did they have enough taxes to cover the cost!?
Wouldn't want to be in there with a 150 people personally.
One person with a virus, half the town goes down.
Amerikanen kunnen ook echt alleen maar problemen zoeken.

What was the name of the music?
guess it's cheaper than 300 body bags.
@Keeping It Dutch what is the music you are using during the drone footage?
If they think that would hold or service 150 people a piece they're smoking crack. Anyone who grew up in England during WWII during the Blitz will tell you how uncomfortable even fitting 20-30 people in there long term would be. Maybe for an hour, maybe for a short storm, but if you put 150 people in each of those for a week you'd have shit piled up to the roof, bodies rotting, and people murdering each other for bread crumbs due to the complete lack of facilities available and the hugely restricted space. Fitting 350 in both you'd have to be stacking bodies like bloody firewood.
Pretty sure that was Bigfoot at the start filming
Who will dig them out - after the spit hits the fan?
THAT IS NOT ENOUGH VENTILATION, PEOPLE GENERATE ALOT OF BODY HEAT OT BE GOOD FOR 2-3 max before people start to feel dizzy and feel lack of oxigen.
Must be a small town^^
Mass grave?
Well, now everyone knows where to go!
That is a tomb.....You max it out let's say with the 150 people...there is not enough ventilation in those, and then also the body heat will make it way too hot for prolong stays.

Plus, those, people can get into a lot faster.
I thought it was a living type shelter. Rooms etc.
:50 was that a crow holding the camera for you
Should have emergency food, water and medical supplies as well as blankets
A tornado lasts 5 to10 minutes...why?
tubularguynine depends on how big it was and what was destroyed, better safe than sorry. And you have no guarantee everyone will manage to get in
Need Espresso machine and margarita blender as well.
How often you guys get tornadoes?
Farmall Fanatic man, all the time during the spring. We can have a out break of storms and there could be 30 tornadoes across the state. It can get crazy.
A whole town of Sardines? Lol
um no restrooms?
You guys forgot the bathroom and water...
I really need to build my own bunker someone please get me out of here and help me build my own bunker home but I want it deep underground
Excuse me but.... Exactly how much people *live* there? 20? Maybe 30? Technically what you're saying that the *entire* town can fit in *both* of those bunkers?

That's a metal tube in the ground not a Bunker
TokinDaily its a bunker
@@KeepingItDutch storm shelter not bunker
@@sheldoneuos its a bunker
Storm shelter not a bunker, and if they would have used corrugated pipe for the walls inside, their would be no echo. lol
Mmm...NO! My fear of closed spaces shot up once you said 150 people should fit in there.
150 people in each one????? I don't think so. Not a chance.
Great bunker! Yep, I think I would be finding the guy with the keys and asking him why the 'emergency' bunker is LOCKED?!
tubularguynine maybe a pair of teenagers making out locked from inside lol
I thought from the outside that was just the entrance area and it would open up under ground however then you open up 150+ per tube no thank you would feel safer outside esp with one way in one way out what stopping some nut job blocking you in while he rides around town looting all your stuff.
150 people and no toilet?
I'd have to fly to OZ. I'm way too claustrophobic.
Me too. I could do it if there were just a few people in there, but if it got like sardines, I'm out. Take my chances outside.
bsofar - I'd be screaming, "Who's got the Zanax!"
Me too. Just the thought of being in there with all those people, it feels suffocating.
But how many Jesse' can it hold? We don't want no flying Jesse even if he does have a pilot licence.
When pigs fly is one thing but not cows! ;o)
