This was particularly memorable for me as during that time, my dad, a wheat farmer, during the winter would construct shelters for folks in town. None were quite so elaborate as the more extreme ones shown in the article.

A little later, the county was dotted with the Minuteman missle sites and control centers. One silo was on a friends farm. He said it was sobering to think that the several-foot thick concrete lid would blow the better part of a hundred yards away just before launch.
