houston – Tornadoes in Texas.
There have also been several outbreaks in the Houston area in recent weeks.
One in Katy earlier this month. Then Sunday night in Trinity County.
“Tornado damage is on the rise in every state right now,” said Rene Sigman, a Houston-based storm attorney who has experience with tornadoes as well as hurricanes like Sandy and Harvey.
The focus is on business, especially protecting families from tornadoes and storms.
Chris Hooser of Lone Star Safe Rooms said the number of homeowners looking to make their homes safer is “growing exponentially every year.”
On days like today, less than 24 hours after a major storm hits the headlines, Sportsman Steel's Jeff Kaiser notices an increase in customers calling.
“It seems like the worse the weather gets, the more calls we get. The weather seems to get worse every day, especially on days like today,” Steele said.
Minutes after KPRC 2 investigators showed up at the Montgomery County office, Kaiser put us in one of the tornado shelters that also served as a safe. “This can protect you from high-impact winds. These are designed to protect you in case your house collapses, and everything here is designed to keep you and your family safe. ,” Kaiser said.
Hooser made it clear in the interview that he expects tornado shelters to become more common in homes in the future. Every house now has one. The day will come when products like this will find their way into more and more homes,” Hooser said.
A typical air raid shelter in the Midwest is usually buried in the ground. But Sigman said going underground is not an option in southeast Texas and “there will be flooding.” The cost of shelters varies, but they start in the thousands of dollars, with the primary investment objective being to protect the lives of friends and family.
