Could underground shelter be a viable option for surviving this type of weather?

There's a salt mine in Louisiana that's used for storing government documents, some old data tapes from the Apollo missions, etc. They use it for two reasons: dry air and constant cool temperatures. So, yes, if you go deep enough, you'll be surrounded by cool earth that will take much longer to heat up if you keep the air interchange down or funnel fresh air through enough cool earth before it gets to you.
