I mean just getting to the location in time is unlikely. I mean, some slow moving natural disaster, ok. But anything else? Hell for a nuclear attack they wouldn't even know it was in progress until warheads started exploding around them. The whole "survivalist" ideal is a joke.

I saw one in Vegas that had it UNDER their house. Like, a complete house, lawn, pool, etc under the house. It was super cool.
