As a kid in 1966-1967 we lived in Midwest City, OK just outside of Tinker AFB. In the back yard was a really cool (literally and figuratively) old large petroleum storage tank buried rather deep, and hooked up to a stairs and ventilation. It was a tornado and bomb shelter combo. I have no idea how they kept it in the ground and not floating up, but they must have anchored it well.

We often slept down there in the summer as our house had no air conditioning. 110 degree days really suck inside a house. It was always nice and cool underground. It was awkward to walk around in with the round bottom, but that gave it plenty of headroom. We had lots of fun down there.
