First strike = first mistake. Nobody got time for that.

The largest yellow circle appears to center on Crater Lake. Not a bad choice, high enough to ride out a pole-shift megatsunami and plenty of fresh water.

I'd always figuered on Boise, ID; third largest city West of the Rockies in the 19th Century. It looks like the smaller circle is centered on the Payette National Forest.

Bomb shelter sounds like a bad way to end. How's about sculpt a shallow cone-shaped pit and pour a cellular concrete double wall foundation (described by U of O architect Richard Britz [citation needed]). Buried under the center -- 55-gallon drums with compressed air and a detonator. Top it with a dome.

If there's a flood, blow the air to break suction with the ground and float away downstream.

My boyhood fantasy invloved underground tunnels with bad air conditioning and uniforms like the Moon girls on Space 1999.
