Tornado Protection
Tornadoes are one of the most destructive weather phenomena known to man. For those that live in the heartland of our great country, certain days are remembered for the fierce tornadic storms that wreaked havoc on our cities, countryside and homes.
We cannot guarantee that your valuables will survive these dreadful storms, but you can certainly improve the odds that they will by storing them in a Bear Safe. The weight and density of our safes, how they’re mounted (bolted to a concrete floor) and the strong steel exteriors are the best above-ground protection for those items that value (without having to pour concrete).
Keep your priceless possessions protected. Come see our selection of Bear Safes and Safe Rooms/Vault Rooms.

This Bear Safe survived when the house around it was destroyed.
May 3, 1999 Tornado
On May 3, 1999, multiple supercell thunderstorms produced many large and damaging tornadoes in central Oklahoma during the late afternoon and evening hours. Some of these storms were killers, including the twisters which moved through and/or near Dover, Shawnee, Perry and Bridge Creek, and the Moore and southern Oklahoma City metropolitan areas.
