| Doomsday shelters making a comeback |
| 2010-07-29 |
| Jason Hodge, father of four children from Barstow, Calif., says he's "not paranoid" but he is concerned, and that's why he bought space in what might be labeled a doomsday shelter. Hodge bought into the first of a proposed nationwide group of 20 fortified, underground shelters -- the Vivos shelter network -- that are intended to protect those inside for up to a year from catastrophes such as a nuclear attack, killer asteroids or tsunamis, according to the project's developers. "It's an investment in life," says Hodge, a Teamsters union representative. "I want to make sure I have a place I can take me and my family if that worst-case scenario were to happen." |

| #2 If intelligently done, such underground dwellings have some advantages over surface dwellings. To start with, they are very controlled environment, for those who suffer ill effects from changing weather conditions, allergens, direct sunlight, heat and cold, etc. There are a surprising number of people who are mysteriously "hyper-allergic", who are already confined, and often in smaller accommodations on the surface. |

| #1 Oh, right. Like the money you paid pre-disaster will really count WTSHTF. |
