A California-based disaster shelter company says it has experienced a huge surge in demand for underground bunkers amid the coronavirus crisis. Atlas Survival Shelters ? which makes and installs underground bunkers that can withstand nuclear disasters and fire ? says they have almost entirely sold out of its inventory, bar a few very small shelters. The Montebello-based company offers shelter ranging in size from 100sq ft for two people, to much larger and more luxurious designs that can accommodate around 25 people. With prices anywhere between $20,000 to $250,000. Atlas Survial Shelters owner Ron Hubbard told the Los Angeles Times: ?No one is buying a bunker only because of coronavirus. ?The people buying a bunker wanted a bunker before corona, but this has pushed them. This was the straw that broke the camel?s back. They?re like, ?Let?s just do it.?? Speaking about the huge demand, Hubbard said: ?I sold two within 30 seconds today& that were almost a quarter-million [dollars] apiece.? He added that some of his clientele included celebrities that ?you see in magazines literally every week?. 02 Apr 2020 Pictured: Atlas Survival Shelters in Montebello, California, has experienced a huge surge in demand for underground bunkers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
