I remember bunkers being promoted in 1960 for nuclear war and in the 1980s some tea magnate built one deep in the Ozarks. He found water dripping to be a serious problem.
Many old farms around here have underground cellars for storage and tornadoes.
Gotta know the water table, and build accordingly.
Blast from the Past
“Blast From The Past is a romantic comedy about the fallout of falling in love. At its center are two children of the Nuclear Age one a savvy, cynical, modern L.A. woman; the other an innocent, naïve young man cocooned since 1962 in a bomb shelter.”

My wife and I with our siblings grew up in the MidWest and Southwest. Tornado shelters were commonplace.
However, we had a few uncles on both sides, who converted their tornado shelters into bomb shelters. One of my wife’s uncles did this. He was one of 9 brothers, and the joke was, who got invited to spend eternity in his bomb shelter.
