Why? Because NO ONE really wants to live in the solution that we already have! We worship HELL AND HORROR STORIES AND LOSING OUR LOVED ONES TO TORNADOES! Don't believe me? Do you live in a Monolithic dome? NO! Why? Because you hate their cost and hate their size OR you never heard of them.
1. Take a Monolithic dome that does NOT have outside items attached to it - like dormers, porches, and so on - and you have a house that can't be blown down by a tornado very well.
But that school was demolished in a tornado! That school had a walkway that was attached to the dome. You need a smooth surface on the outside of the dome, to keep the tornadoes from having something to hang on too.
2. There is this house in Florida made of thick concrete and steel, that is still standing even after TWO different tornadic storms leveled the entire neighbourhood.
3. There is this other dome house that is a short silo made of concrete and steel, which survived tornadic and hurricane storms. The house part is on the floor above, while the floor below, is round like a tube.
My point? We already have homes that survive tornadoes.
What don't we have? People willing to destroy current homes in favour of these tornado proof homes. We also don't have these tornado proof homes at a cost that people can afford. The square footage of usable space is a lot less for the money you pay.
What we really need to do is research how to get a law passed the forces all homes that have been destroyed by tornadoes or storms and all new construction, to be tornado proof - aka made from thick walled concrete and steel, with a round top instead of a more traditional roof.
Once we get this passed, we will have in the long run, less money going to rebuild homes that should never have been built in the first place. However, the biggest issue is that historical homes will be destroyed. This is why I would just wait until a tornado destroys it. You can always rebuild the home inside of a concrete dome. Yes, I know that dome will have to be huge, but it would be worth it for those homes that have extreme historical value. The obvious issue is that we only have so much land space that surrounds some of these homes.
