This is also the reason the main door on most storm cellars is mounted at an angle rather than perpendicular with the ground. An angled door allows for debris to blow up and over the door, or sand to slide off, without blocking it, and the angle also reduces the force necessary to open the door if rubble has piled up on top. The floor area is generally around eight by twelve feet (2.4 by 3.7 m), with an arched roof like that of a <a href="/wiki/Quonset_hut" title="Quonset hut">Quonset hut</a>, but entirely underground. In most cases the entire structure is built of <a href="/wiki/Brick" title="Brick">blocks</a> faced with cement and <a href="/wiki/Rebar" title="Rebar">rebar</a> through the bricks for protection from the storm. Doing so makes it nearly impossible for the bricks to collapse. New ones are sometimes made of <a href="/wiki/Septic_tank" title="Septic tank">septic tanks</a> that have been modified with a steel door and vents. Some new shelters are <a href="/wiki/Rotational_molding" title="Rotational molding">rotationally molded</a> from <a href="/wiki/Polyethylene" title="Polyethylene">polyethylene</a>. </p><p>Most storm cellars are accessible by a covered stairwell, and at the opposite end of the structure there can be conduits for air that reach the surface, and perhaps a small window to serve as an emergency exit and also to provide some light. Storm cellars, when connected to the house, may potentially compromise security.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Fully enclosed underground storm shelters offer superior tornado protection to that of a traditional <a href="/wiki/Basement" title="Basement">basement</a> (cellar) because they provide separate overhead cover without the risk of occupants being trapped or killed by collapsing rubble from above. For this reason they also provide the only reliable form of shelter against "violent" (<a href="/wiki/EF4" class="mw-redirect" title="EF4">EF4</a> and EF5) tornadoes which tend to rip the house from its foundation, removing the overhead cover which was protecting the occupant.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

There are the generic underground storm/tornado cellar, also called storm or tornado shelters, as well as the new above-ground <a href="/wiki/Safe_room" title="Safe room">safe rooms</a>. A "cellar" is an underground unit, but for the sake of the specified use of a "storm cellar" to protect one from high-wind storms, it seems relevant to mention saferooms. There are two basic styles of underground storm cellars. One is the "hillside" or "embankment" and the other is the "flat" ground. </p><p>One other style of shelter is the under garage.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While similar to other underground shelters, its main difference is that it is installed in a garage rather than outside. Having it installed in the garage allows access to it without having to go outside during a storm. It is sometimes not an option to have a shelter installed outside either due to insufficient space, or local ordinances. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hillside/embankment_shelters"><span id="Hillside.2Fembankment_shelters"></span>Hillside/embankment shelters</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Storm_cellar&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Hillside/embankment shelters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Hillside or embankment models are usually installed in one of two ways.

There can be steps leading into the unit, or it can be installed to where the floor is level with the ground outside. The embankment storm cellar can be made from concrete, steel, fiberglass, or any other structurally sound material or composite and is usually installed in a hill or embankment, leaving only the door exposed. In some situations, they can hold an entire neighborhood or town as with a community shelter. More often, they are built to hold one or two families, specified as a residential shelter. All underground "storm or tornado" shelters must be properly anchored. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Above_ground_shelters">Above ground shelters</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Storm_cellar&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Above ground shelters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Above ground shelters are used in many areas of the country and by a wide variety of homeowners and businesses.
