Clarksville, TN Tornado Shelters: Why We Started Calm AF Co. and How to Keep Your Family Safe

---

If you live in Clarksville, TN, you know how scary tornado season can be. The sirens go off, the sky turns green, and suddenly everyone is crammed into the bathtub or closet, praying the storm passes.

After one too many nights like that with my kids, clutching a flashlight and wishing we had a better plan...I knew something had to change.

That’s why we started Calm AF Co. a woman-owned, veteran-operated tornado shelter company right here in Clarksville. Our mission is simple: help local families feel safe, prepared, and calm when the next storm hits.

Why Storm Shelters Matter in Clarksville

Clarksville isn’t technically in “Tornado Alley,” but severe storms are becoming more common. Every year, we see roofs ripped off, trees blocking roads, and power outages that last for days.Bathtubs, closets, and hallways might feel like the only option — but the truth is, they offer very little protection from flying debris or structural collapse. A FEMA-compliant tornado shelter or safe room is the single best way to protect your family when the sirens sound.

Our Story: From Bathtub Panic to Calm AF

Hi, I’m Xena Carr, founder and CEO of Calm AF Co. My husband Jon and I are raising our kids right here in Tennessee. After experiencing multiple close calls with tornadoes — including one that left us without power for days — we decided enough was enough.Jon is a veteran with years of experience in construction, welding, and project management. Together, we combined his hands-on skills with my passion for storm preparedness to launch a business focused on giving families engineer-approved, fully prepped shelters that make you feel confident and ready when bad weather hits.

What Calm AF Co. Offers

We proudly serve Clarksville, Sango, Woodlawn, Cunningham, Fort Campbell area, and surrounding communities with: • Above-Ground Tornado Shelters – Anchored to your slab and built to withstand high winds and flying debris. • Below-Ground Shelters – Installed in your yard for maximum protection. • Garage Units / Safe Rooms – Installed inside your garage so you don’t have to run outside in bad weather.
