Associations and Continuity
In the story Thunder Mountain is referenced as Skynet's mainframe. However inside are signs indicating it as a NORAD facility. Since NORAD's main technical facility since 1963 has been the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center in Colorado it is not known if this was just a story device or if it was meant to be Thunder Mountain in California. Interestingly, the Jeremiah comic series and its television spin off also include a Cheyenne Mountain-like complex called Thunder Mountain.
As with most comics based on film franchises, it may not be considered canon by future filmmakers. Notably, the alternate future of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines established that the films' version of Skynet did not have a central mainframe, being more a part of the internet than a stand-alone facility.
