I think in our areas they should require them too. It's a couple thousands dollars more but probably well worth it.

The sky is rumbling right now as we speak. It will be a long night for us. They are expecting winds to 80 mph, 2-3" hail, and EF2 and larger tornadoes. I pray that God puts his protection around all of us in the area.
I'm glad you have a safe room. Wish we had one. I regret that we chose a house without a basement. Praying for your safety.
