Sioux City, Iowa -- On July 28, 1999, Lite-Form workers demonstrated the ease of constructing a tornado safe room. The cement-filled, foam-formed walls are reinforced with steel rebar and may be built into new housing or added inside or outside to existing structures at a relatively low cost. Its construction is simple enough that it can be built by do-it-yourselfers.
