Abstract:
1. A shelter capable of withstanding extreme winds, the shelter comprising a concrete foundation mechanically coupled to a lower continuous track by an anchor bolt; the lower continuous track is mechanically coupled to a plurality of studs; plurality of studs are mechanically coupled to an upper continuous track forming an arrangement of studs; the arrangement of studs secured between two tracks provides additional stability against variable wind loads that normally damage buildings; the plurality of studs are arranged to create walls, where the walls are covered with a first exterior layer and a second exterior layer; such that the first exterior layer provides protection against live force loads and the second exterior layer provides protection against vibration; the walls have an interior surface and an exterior surface; the interior surface is perforated with an adjustable louvered vent; the exterior surface is perforated with a fixed louvered vent; such that the position of the fixed louvered vent is staggered from the position of the adjustable louvered vent enabling the shelter to rapidly adjust to changing pressure and avoid implosion while simultaneously preventing the life force load from penetrating the walls; and the upper continuous track is mechanically coupled to roofing.
