I understand the Mayans got a new calendar in the mail from their fuel-oil company, so we can all relax now.
Are there similar places to the one in the OP though?
Where you’re protected by the location instead of the people or man-made structures that are on it.
Doesn’t have to be a scientific answer.
I think I’ll try here.
You have confused preparing for a disaster with preparing to watch the Doctor Who Christmas special.
Life is sweet. While it’s true my beard is greying, I don’t much care for my job, and I’ve long since given up dreams of winning the Hugo, I have a wife and baby I adore, not to mention the rest of my family & friends. I want to live as long as possible, and I’m not willing to meekly surrender to the Reaper even in a disaster.
Hey, nobody’s suggesting that you go meekly!
No–instead, be daring… Order the extra cheese.
How can he protect people? He can’t even keep raindrops from falling on his head!
What?
There’s a difference? Should I make it a sausage pizza instead?
Mrs Cad being an emergency manager has our route out of No. Colorado already planned out. Depending on the notice it is either Cheyenne (low traffic) then west on I80 or down to Denver and west on I-70 with everyone else. We end up in Portland or Seattle. Central Colorado you would probably going through Pueblo and US50 west but to be honest, I’d rather cut through the Yellowstone Caldera than Pueblo.
I’m sticking with John Cusack.
I’ve been inside of Site R! It was in connection with a renovation contract our company was doing there. It’s pretty claustrophobic, but impressive.
I did a couple of years inside there (enlisted active duty Air Force, working a computer programming job for one of the tenant organizations there).
What I remember the most was how 100-pound chunks of tunnel ceiling were prone to drop off and fall with a rather scary crash onto the tunnel floor. Since the tunnel was something like 30’ tall, it was quite the fall, and since the chunks (and the entire mountain’s core) was made of some amazingly dense green granite, the impact was pretty impressive.
One chunk dropped onto the interior roadway from the surface port to the facility while our bus* was approaching. Good brakes saved the day.
*Yeah, they ran a shuttle bus from the surface to the facility. Otherwise, it was like a 3/4 mile walk.
So, yeah. If the end of the world causes those chunks to fall out of the ceiling more than usual, I’ll take my chances on the surface.
Come to Vegas, we’ll set you up with all you need. If you need transportation to the Bunny Ranch we’ve got that too.
Ironic, since they caused the apocalypse.
Going to. I meant going to. In fact, forget I said anything.
Which of you takes cheques? Or checks?

Yes.
PM me, and I will disclose my guaranteed end-of-the-world-safe location for a mere $10,000.

And some beer to cushion your system.
Somewhere like Palm Valley in the Northern Territory of Australia would be my choice.
Need answer fast?
I can’t believe no one asked this yet.
Well, if the OP finds a place, he shouldn’t forget to make a trip to Costco for this.
Wait-a-minute
If its the end of the “world”…
And every point on Earth is within this “world”…
Seriously, if you have found your hideaway, you need to haul ass and get there YESTERDAY. Better take more than just a couple of SlimJims and a sport bottle of water, too!

This. Seriously, there are dictionaries online that you can access for free.
