I was 12 and living in St. Petersburg. What I remember most was one of my friend's father who worked for Florida Power, had bought some used steel shafts that were 4'x4' by 2" thick steel. He dug a huge hole in his backyard and dropped in 20' length of shafts about 10' down. He surrounded them with gravel and concrete and filled over with dirt. It was their bomb shelter. The next year it became our fort and hangout, it was pretty neat.
