Find The Closest Natural Nuclear Bunker to Your Home?
Ask a Prepper ^ | 08.16.2015 | Claude Davis

Did you know that there are a lot of natural nuclear shelters in the US that are absolutely free.

For example, just 1200 Feet below Detroit there is a salt mine that can easily shelter over 5 million people. This is also the case in Houston, Cleveland and other cities.

You might find it hard to believe, but Kansas City has a “nuclear shelter” which houses 10 percent of city’s commercial real estate.

In Kansas City they have Subtropolis – as it is called – is an ex limestone mine with an excavated size of 140 football fields, which was turned into an underground industrial park, but I'm pretty sure it will make a great nuclear bunker.

Find the Closest Natural Bunker to Your Home

This is an interesting topic but of course only if you want to live in a post nuclear-war era.

I think there’s a salt mine near Waller. Not sure how big or deep it is though.

Easy enough to get down there, but a lot tougher to get back up...

Not Mont Bellvieu, but in Hockley.

Actual mining like a coal mine.

What could go wrong spending time with "over 5 million people" 1200' under Detroit?

And people thought the Astrodome after Karina was bad.

I'm guessing they weren't opening for Ozzy.

Still and all, there is supposed to be a dome fulla crapgoo under there.

LOL! I’m screwed.

The closes “mines” to the DC area are:

Gina Mines, State Farm Real Estate Agent
These Eyes of Mines
Dr. Sabilika Mines, MD
The Water Mine Family Swimming Hole
The National Mining Association.

Frankly, following the logic of this article, my best bet would be to follow the subway lines to Crystal City or Ballston Station.

So it’s just like above-ground Detroit?

Katrina proved that is not such a good idea

I have my areas nuclear bunker locations. They are in a book called Personal and Family Survival A well written book. Has maps for everyone’s local area. It was published by the DoD Office of Civil Defense in 1966. They were given to everyone back then.

Kinda makes ya wonder what all the money spent on the Department of Homeland Security really gets ya.

Crapgoo is dangerous stuff. It should be kept in salt mines.

Meanwhile in Mont Bellvieu, we keep putting more holes in ours and expanding the ones we got.
