Raised in Tornado Alley
I was born and raised smack-dab in the middle of Tornado Alley. I spent the first decade of my life in Wichita, Kansas, and the second in Dodge City. In April 1991, I was living in El Dorado, Kansas, and managing the local Pizza Hut when the F5 Andover tornado tore through the area, killing seventeen people and injuring more than 200 others.
I remember standing at the window watching the hail and wondering whether it was about to come through the glass. Hail the size of baseballs doesn’t fall like ordinary hail. One stone would smash into a car, then nothing for thirty seconds or a minute, then another would slam into something fifty yards away. I’d never seen anything like it, and I’ve never forgotten it.
Green Country knows these storms too. That’s why I built this site: to help Tulsa-area families find a qualified installer before the next storm, not after.
We’re an independent referral service. We don’t build, sell or install shelters. We connect you with one local installer, who quotes and contracts with you directly.
