FAQ

Norman Storm Shelter FAQ

Common questions from Norman homeowners before they call us.

Is Norman at high tornado risk?

Yes. Norman sits in Cleveland County — the same county as Moore, which has been struck by three EF4–EF5 tornadoes since 1999. The National Severe Storms Laboratory is based in Norman specifically because the area sees some of the most intense tornado activity in the country. The risk is not theoretical.

Do you install near OU campus or in older Norman neighborhoods?

Yes. We work with all Norman home types — newer subdivisions in south Norman, older homes near campus, and everything in between. Our above-ground safe room is a great option for homes where excavation isn't practical.

How close is your showroom to Norman?

Our OKC showroom at 11500 S. Meridian Ave is about 20 minutes north of Norman via I-35. Call ahead and we'll have someone walk you through every model: (405) 417-8676.

Do I need a permit in Norman?

Yes. Norman and Cleveland County require permits for shelter installations. We manage the permit process for you — just provide your address when you request a quote.

How soon can you install after I get a quote?

Typically within days, depending on the season. Don't wait until April or May — storm season demand fills our schedule fast. Call now and get on the calendar early.
