Excellent news for the rich: they can fuck up the environment as much as they want and sit comfortably in their apocalypse bunkers. At least until the global ecosystems collapse to an extent that not even they can hide from it I guess.
Thousands or more of Americans already have similar tornado shelters and that’s all good. Has been the status quo since the days when electricity was new.
There’s nothing you can do to stop tornados, so a bunker is the best place to be in one.
In a true apocalyptic setting, this would just be collecting resources for the strong and powerful. I don’t think the rich would stay in power for very long.
The guards and servants will turn if not before groups from the surrounding areas raid the place.
That said, if I had the money and land it’s a provocative idea in these fucked times. The thing is the rich have been working on this shit for a long time now. They know society is likely to collapse again.

Just move to a region that doesn’t light on fire…
These are similar to tornado shelters in the US. Several of my neighbors have them.
They even make some that are basically a porch and steps with a hatch to open and climb in.
They are also common with cheap housing like trailer houses.

Most soldiers don’t turn on dictators. At least not as much as we’d like them to.
