you don't want to build a bomb shelter, people will think you are crazy. Build yourself a bomb proof tornado shelter.

Actually you are quite right.
In the case of the unthinkable, the few who know me and know of my backyard project know it's only a ROOT CELLAR/Tornado shelter.

And yes there are permanent commercial shelters available from cheap but effective large size storm-drain based steel corrgated piping to ultra-expensive spacious rooms.

We're planning on hiring a contractor to do about 80% of our 7'w x 12'L x 6'H root cellar and then finish the rest ourselves.

If anyone is interested in doing this be sure to research research research

Underground is Also Energy Efficient

Wouldn't building homes underground be more energy-efficient?

I know - sunlight would be a problem...

I don't know about you, but I've watched Duck and Cover several times I guess as a historical piece. Personally, I found it mildly frightening that the world actually went through a time when we had to show grade school kids videos about when "the bomb" was going to come. I mean, it wasn't even like this was thought to be a mild possibility, it was shown much in the way that we know tornados and hurricanes come, we just don't know when. It's terrifying to imagine a world where you must always be in fear of atomic war.
