Under Michael’s direction, New Day Tornado Shelters focuses on creating structures that can withstand the most extreme weather conditions on earth. From heavy-duty steel above-ground safe rooms to our signature patented cylindrical storm shelters, every unit is built with an understanding that there is zero margin for error when a historic system strikes. Michael ensures that the company’s designs prioritize aerodynamics and impact testing, consistently meeting or exceeding FEMA P-361 and ICC-500 standards to survive the punishing force of EF5 debris and high winds. This technical acumen ensures that our clients receive the highest level of protection available.
