Lubbock and Tornadoes — The History You Already Know
On May 11, 1970, an F5 tornado struck Lubbock. It killed 26 people, injured more than 500, and caused $135 million in damage in 1970 dollars. The tornado tore through downtown and across the Texas Tech campus. It remains one of the most destructive tornadoes in Texas history.
Lubbock sits in the southern end of Tornado Alley. The South Plains — flat, open, and exposed — creates ideal conditions for supercell thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes with little warning. Lubbock and the surrounding region see severe weather warnings every spring and summer.
Recent years have brought additional severe weather events across the region. Large hail, straight-line winds, and tornado warnings are routine from March through June.
The question for Lubbock homeowners isn't whether a tornado will come close — it's whether you'll be ready when it does.

Why Sheltris Is Different From National Companies
Most storm shelter companies you'll find online are national brands that ship a product and leave installation to whoever's available in your area. That means one company supplies the shelter and a completely different operation puts it in the ground. With Sheltris, one company manages the entire project. One point of contact. One standard of quality.
We know Lubbock soil. The caliche layer. The drainage patterns. We understand the permit requirements in the City of Lubbock. We handle excavation, placement, sealing, and grading — because we've done it here, not from a corporate office in Georgia or Oklahoma.
When you hire Sheltris, there's no finger-pointing if something goes wrong. There's just us. We stand behind every shelter we install and every job we manage.
