Well, I guess it's good that they have started bussing people to the Dome. But whatif...? I hate to think about the Dome collapsing.

Are these tall buildings designed to take a hurricane? I can't help but thinking of a tall building flooded part way up with winds and waves battering at the exposed part. What about the foundation? Wouldn't the building topple due to a soft, water-laden foundation and all that force acting on it?
Water is basically incompressible. You know what a belly flop feels like. What about all that beating on the buildings? I wouldn't feel safe in one.
