There was a large tornado that hit a plant in Roanoke, Illinois in 2004. Big sucker. Brothers who owned the plant had tornado proof toilets built in the center of the plant. 75 workers went to the can when that sucker was on the way and not a scratch. You couldn't tell the trucks from the building but the toilets worked.

They also had tornado insurance that paid the workers while the plant was being rebuilt. The workers got paid for helping the clean up and rebuilding of other's who were hit by the twister,
