Tucson
Apparently, there were a lot of bomb shelters built into properties located in the Tucson area. Back then, such a response was not considered an overreaction. As a matter of fact, people considered it to be an act of someone who looked out for the safety of their loved ones. Believe or not, the threat of nuclear war was a true cause for concern back then. There was another secret about Tucson that people learned about.

Missile Town
Tucson, Arizona used to be home to 18 ballistic missiles that had the capacity to travel across entire continents. Each of these had been 100 feet long and 10 feet wide. They were capable of destroying an area measuring 900 square miles and could be deployed in only 58 seconds. The tip of each missile came with a 9-megaton nuclear warhead. As you can see, Tucson was full of both shelters and weapons! The project was a secret back then, however. The Cold War has since come to an end, although it is reasonable to start wondering if there are still missiles to be found in the area.
