MONTEBELLO, Calif. (KABC) -- In response to
President Donald Trump's comments about North Korea
and how their threats will be met with "fire and
fury," some Southern Californians are wasting no
time in buying bomb shelters in case of an attack.
Some shelters, like the Bombnado, are designed to
be built underneath your house during construction.
The Bombnado has a seating area, bunk beds and
storage space.
The owner of Atlas Survival, who sells the Bombnado
and other survival shelters, said over the last few
days, he's had lines of people who want to buy his
shelters, especially the Fallnado model, which is
designed to fit inside a home garage.
The high demand comes just days after Trump threatened
North Korea this week "with fire and fury like the
world has never seen" after reports suggested the
communist country has mastered one of the final
hurdles to being able to strike the United States
with a nuclear missile.
"Instead of calling me like they normally do,
they've gone in their car and they've driven down
here to see what is available. . . (They) buy them
on the spot, and I've never seen that in my entire
career doing this," said owner Ron Hubbard.
The Fallnado starts at about $10,000. For those who
can spend a little more, there are luxury model
bomb shelters.
One model, which starts at about $100,000, has about
500-square feet of living space and includes all the
comforts of home. It has a bathroom, bedroom, living
room and kitchen, and it is designed to be built
about 20 feet underground.
Hubbard said he's sold out his inventory and is on
back-order. He said it may take weeks to get more
survival shelters.

We're told to keep calm and that we're well-protected,
but the reality is we could be here today and gone
tomorrow. If our past generations dealt with it, so
can we. There's nothing in the world other than God

Corker's view is dead accurate about Trump: he must
be contained. If generals don't step in, Trump may
well launch nuclear codes & WWW III.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
are hosting presentations later this month on what
federal, state, and local governments are doing to
prepare for the public health crisis that would
follow a nuclear strike, The Politico reports.
The notice warns that "while a nuclear detonation
is unlikely, it would have devastating results and
there would be limited time to take critical
protection steps."
The briefing includes presentations with reassuring
names like "Preparing for the Unthinkable" and
"Roadmap to Radiation Preparedness."
Other presentations at the CDC's "Grand Rounds"
sessions discuss more usual topics like vaccinations
and hepatitis C, Politico points out.
The CDC's briefing comes amid heightened tensions
with North Korea, including President Trump's recent
button-measuring competition with leader Kim Jong Un.
Other agencies and organizations are also reassessing
what measures are in place in case of a nuclear strike,
including New York City, which is in the process of
removing misleading fallout shelter signs citywide.
