These 10 American Communities Are Secretly Living Underground Right Now!

Beneath the streets of America — beneath the casinos, the suburbs, the historic downtowns and the military mountains — people are living underground. Not in the movies. Not in a distant future. Right now, today, in real places across the country that most Americans drive past without ever looking down. We're talking about a thousand people living in the flood tunnels beneath the Las Vegas Strip while forty million tourists walk above them every year. A community of families in five hundred and seventy-five military bunkers in the Black Hills of South Dakota preparing for the end of the world. An entire original city sealed one story beneath the streets of Seattle that still has residents. A mountain in Colorado hollowed out by the military and built to survive a nuclear blast, still operational today. And cave dwellers in the Ozarks living in natural caverns the same way their families have for over a hundred years. Some of these communities chose to go underground. Some were driven there. Some have been there so long the surface feels like somewhere else.
