Glad all is ok, I would have been terrified. I wouldnā€™t like to live somewhere where they have tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes etc. Over here we are lucky we donā€™t have such fierce weather conditions. Stay safe

Blimey Oā€™ Righty, Iā€™ve never experienced anything so serious.

Girls this side of the pond would reach for the eye liner, but ā€¦ :102:

d00d, I learned early on what is important and what you can do without. If our building got torn up and we were left in the basement, I would still have the basic stuff to start another chapter of my life. Itā€™s common sense.

Then, I would head for my nearest Ulta cosmetic storeā€¦ :wink:

ā€¦ common sense, yeah I see that. But here we donā€™t value such documents, they are just copies, mostly.

And we donā€™t experience such threats. Fire being the greatest danger, and losing undeclared cash under the mattress being the biggest concern ā€¦I imagine for most people.

Keeping the originals of identifying documents is basic here. Otherwise, you have to request a certified copy for passport, driver license, hospital stays, etc. It can take weeks or more to process them, not to mention the cost for each. A certifed copy of your birth certificate is $10 each copy. Certified death certs are the sameā€¦for family wills, bank accounts, etc. Much safer to keep originals in a safe place you can access quickly. I will say I am too well organized for my own good, but sparse of cluttered paperwork I donā€™t need.

You are prepared for the worse, no harm in that.

After a major break-in a couple of months ago weā€™re now installing all manner of safety/security systems, talk about shutting the door after the horse has bolted!!
A safe was delivered this afternoon which our son will fix next week.
Into it will go the passports, certificates and so onā€¦the tornado would presumably have hit and carried us all away by the time weā€™d opened up the safe and extracted any important items!!!

Is it a fireproof safe? After our safe saved all of our documents etc from our devastating house fire of '95, weā€™ve been keen on them ever since and have installed one in this house too.

Interesting. Itā€™s not fireproof as it has bolt holes in the sides and base to fix it to the floor and wall, so these holes make it not fireproof.
But apparently you can buy a fireproof bag to put things into in the safe.
