USA went thru a frenzy of building these back in the 50's until everybody realized that it was a futile effort. You simply can't stock enough air, water, food, and medicine to outlast the fallout from a nuclear attack. Bomb shelters just become an uncomfortable place to die.
You see them in Europe for an entirely different reason... They are much more likely to suffer a conventional attack from a very close neighbor. Think of bombing Austin if you live in Dallas or Houston. You are not going to use a nuke.

We have fallout shelters just a block away on UW campus. Most are not in very useable condition but they are still there. They also have a series of underground tunnels that could be used for a bombing.
Russians have stated 1st missiles are aimed at FE Warren AF base, just over the hill in Cheyenne from us. With the right westerly wind we may survive.

From a security perspective, a tornado shelter would do the same thing.

Prolly be a good idea to find this out, what with the idiot from Mississippi trying hard to destroy our military for his own partisan purposes.

I'm just going to have to hope that I am far enough away when it hits. Would Navarro County be far enough away?

I went through some NBC training at work about this subject and the one thing I learned was that Fort Worth is toast I’d it happens because of the NASJRB. It is a primary target for any enemy.

Even if you survive, what are you going to come out to after the smoke clears?

I may have to fire up the 3D printer and make a bunch of those lip extensions. Makes it easier to kiss you a__ goodbye.
