Shelter from the storm
Not every Utah business is reeling from the Wall Street's tumble. Draper's Utah Shelter Systems manufacturers underground shelters that can withstand a nuclear aftershock (blasts up to 150 pounds per square inch) and are equipped with ventilation systems to thwart biological attacks.

As the economy craters, USS's business — driven by survivalists — is ka-booming.

USS co-owner Sharon Packer claims most of the orders for Utah Shelter Systems are coming from wealthy folks who fear terrorists will think the financial downturn has laid America open to attack.

If you can follow that logic and have an extra $40K, you're the perfect USS customer. The rest of us will just have to sharpen sticks, crawl into our cardboard boxes and ride out the storm.
