I guess I am too young for that. We do tornado drills where we ducked under our desk.

At my college, there is a dorm that was a hospitable in WWII. It has a basement and there used to be a fallout shelter sign on it. That was in the 1980â€™s during the Cold War I donâ€™t know if the sign is still there. I would be surprised if some college student didnâ€™t swipe it.
