Most of these commercial shelters have an important design weakness in that all it takes to trap occupants inside when a storm lands a tree or any other heavy objects on the door. Doors need to be vertical, sheltered, and even open inward to help prevent a blocked entrance.

I’m sure you would be able to install a setup with a hydraulic jack that would push the door open if something landed on top of it. Keep a couple of hydraulic jacks and a couple pieces of 4x4 or 6x6 in the shelter. There’s all sorts of ways that you could prepare for such a case, I know that I would.

Back in the day, before basements were the standard, many rural families had a separate “root cellar” that offered shelter from violent weather. Think of the storm cellar in the Wizard of Oz movie.

It's most likely already compromised from the water, just leaving it in there to soak into the concrete

Lol that thing alone looks like an entry 😂

I wouldnt really consider this one a bunker, it doesn't have much in the way of long term living, if anything it seems like a fancy cellar that you can hide in during a tornado or other storm. Im sure you could use it as a bunker or modify it to be one, just it wouldn't be too effective as is
