ABSTRACT:
A system for the protection of a building, house, or like structure, is provided which affords protection against the forces of wind, pressure differentials, water and sound. The device features a ventilation system which allows normal ventilation of the structure, but provides an increased area through which air can travel in the event of a tornado or like storm which produces a rapid and large change in atmospheric pressure. There is additionally provided a wind deflecting side portion which remains in a normally open position, which open position absorbs and deflects the force of high velocity winds as is generated by hurricanes and the like. Water protection is provided by drains and deflecting anti-splash plates that prevent the entry of excessive amounts of water into the inner portion of the structure. Within the structure, louvers through inner walls equalize pressure between different rooms, lessening the chance for pressure differential change.
