Texas Bunker Sales Surge Amid Middle East War

Since the war in the Middle East began nearly two weeks ago, a Texas bomb shelter company can’t keep up with demand.

Ron Hubbard’s Atlas Survival Shelters is seeing a surge in orders from Gulf nations like Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE, as well as worried Americans.

A basic backyard bunker for four people, designed to last up to a week underground, costs around $25,000.

More elaborate models for years-long survival can run into the millions. The shelters feature hermetic seals, decontamination chambers, and hand-crank ventilation.

High-profile clients have included Andrew Tate, MrBeast, and Kim Kardashian. Mark Zuckerberg also commissioned a design.

Hubbard says people used to mock “crazy Americans getting bomb shelters.” Not anymore. “Not when Dubai is being bombed every single day,” he says. With the future looking uncertain, business has never been better.
