Never heard of them, but I like this one!
Extreme environmental forces compel us to incorporate extreme building solutions. Domes resist a variety of assaults by Mother Nature. The dome structure is impervious to tornadoes, landslides, avalanches, earthquakes, fires, snow and ice storms. Even the tsunami of 2004 has spawned an avid interest in utilizing more domes as the destroyed areas are rebuilt.
When repetitive hurricanes struck their home, Mark and Valerie Sigler responded by building a monolithic dome structure. Studies at Idaho State University determined the Dome of a Home will withstand 500 + mile an hour winds. Its curved shape and massive weight resist storm surge damage. These qualities combined with an absence of a roof to be compromised makes the dome extremely hurricane resistant.
