Because I live near a river, I want to make sure I'm safe in the event
of a major flood. I plan to build a tower and want the floor of my
tower 50 feet off the ground. I will not attach it to the house in
case the house is destroyed by the flood. The tower will be free
standing in the back yard. I plan to make the top a small room 12 x
15 feet with a gable roof. Inside will be all the things necessary
for survival. There will be cots, blankets, clothing, canned food, a
small refrigerator, propane cook stove, cooking supplies, a portable
toilet, a generator, first aid supplies, and anything else I can think
we may need. There will also be a tank filled with 500 gallons of
fresh water, plumbed to a sink.

Some cut.

Anyone have any ideas?
