We lived in a house at Wulagi, designed after Tracy. Solid as , the store room could double as an air raid shelter, I reckon.

Great that he has done it Jim, but it was something learnt from Cyclone Tracy. Tie the roof down properly and it cant become a missile to damage other houses. It also keeps the house together when debris does hit it.

Other option is concrete bunkers like those Bob experienced in Wulagi :D
