I do not now but have previously lived in tornado alley. Since that time about 20 years ago, I have learned about monolithic domes. They can be designed to withstand 400 mph winds and over 100 mph projectiles. If I had to live in a tornado area again, I believe I would build one of these.

At the very least, I would be pushing the school board to rebuild the school with at least the gym being a dome.
No telling what the people could have done if their tax dollars had been kept local. After all, only local people really know what they want and need.
It irritates the hell out of me that taxpayers nationwide are forced to pay for bike trails in my county. Unfortunately that irresponsibility is a natural result of getting an allowance from Uncle Sugar.
Thanks for the link to monolithic dome construction. Fascinating.
