I've personally never heard of a "safe room". No matter how heavy a room's walls are, an F4 Tornado will slice it up. An F4 is so powerful it'll unhinge houses and throw them miles away.

Safe rooms are made of concrete walls about a foot thick, which are reinforced with steel beems.

They are not made like the average room on a brick home, which can be torn to shreds.

Safe rooms are also endorsed by FEMA.
