I'm on the hunt for a good soaking tub, preferably cast iron or steel, but I'm struggling to find one that fits well in my space. My area is prone to tornadoes, and this tub is our designated spot when the sirens go off. Do I really need a steel or cast iron tub for safety, or should I let go of finding one that's deep enough for long baths? Also, the dimensions I'm working with are 60x30, which makes it tough to change the layout. What am I missing?

Finding the perfect tub really does feel like a quest for the holy grail! But let's be real—it's less about getting a great bath and more about how to survive when the tornado sirens blare. Moving to a more secure room might be what you really need here.
Have you considered using your mattress as extra protection when the sirens go off? It sounds like your bathroom is a solid spot in your layout for sheltering, especially if it’s the most central area. Just remember, the key is to shield yourself as much as possible from flying debris!
Honestly, you might want to look into creating a dedicated tornado shelter instead of relying on your tub. While it can provide some safety, especially if it’s in the interior of your home, a bathtub isn’t guaranteed to keep you safe if the house takes a hit. And hey, maybe investing in some additional protection like blankets to pad yourself in the tub might be a good call too.
