Based on that knowledge, the Wind Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have developed specifications for a Safe Room designed to withstand high winds and tornadoes. This Safe Room will withstand sustained winds up to 250 miles per hour and resist penetration by a 15-pound 2x4 stud traveling 100 miles per hour, according to Federal Coordinating Officer Carlos Mitchell.
