I went to talk to a company on the side of the road on highway 53 outside of Huntsville Alabama. The name of the company was Tornado Masters of Alabama. They had a pretty showroom, and a old guy who looked like a dimestore cowboy named Les Holt began to tell me about the storm shelters they manufactured and installed. After listening to him tell me about himself for about 30 minutes he finally told me about the shelters and I bought one. He told me he needed all the money in advance because it was custom ordered. I gave him a check for 5995.00 to make and install the shelter. To this day after a year I have still not received the shelter. After a hundred or so calls he told me he was filing bankruptcy so do what I have to do. He basically threatened me and I got nothing for my money. I later discovered that all he had told me about the shelter was a lie. It had never been tested at Texas Tech as I was told. It really had never been tested anywhere, and he had not gotton anything to say it would withstand any storm, even if I would have received my unit. After speaking with others in the area I have learned that this is common place for Les Holt and Tornado Masters. Many others have been bamboozled by this clown. He claims to be the owner, but the company is owned by Grady Holt his 85 year old father. That is how he protects himself. All's I can say is do not do business with these thieves. Les Holt, Grady Holt, Tornado Masters, or what ever they really are will take your money and give you nothing for it.
