The Springfield underground storage facility has been around since the 1960's, it's a centrally located distribution center that has a secure storage as well as less energy usage because the caverns are naturally cooled by the ground. I have several friends in the trucking business, they take out as much stuff out of there, as they bring in. I'm sure the government has "some extra food" stored there, but I don't think it's a reason for hysteria. The real hysteria is not in a storage facility... moreThe Springfield underground storage facility has been around since the 1960's, it's a centrally located distribution center that has a secure storage as well as less energy usage because the caverns are naturally cooled by the ground.

The real hysteria is not in a storage facility that has been around for 60 years -- but more in the sabotage of the farms and food facilities around America, like they say near the end of this video.
