ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. –

Could a “Doomsday Bunker” protect your family in case of disaster? One local business thinks so and is offering tours of an Atlas corrugated pipe shelter.

Al’s Army Navy Store in Altamonte Springs is selling a 32×10-foot shelter. The unit is designed to go 20 feet underground, and can offer protection from hurricanes, tornadoes and other disasters.

You know, I rather like these culvert-style shelters but I really would probably prefer them above-ground. Just put up some wood cribbing, get some forms, encase the whole thing in cement, plant some ivy over it and you’d be good to go. Probably a great way to go in hurricane country where digging into a low water table isnt a good idea…encase it in a couple feet of concrete and no hurricane is gonna screw with you. And best of all – no sewage pump.
