I'll believe they'll take an F4 when one gets hit by one. It's easy to say "withstands tornadoes" when you've only got a few hundred installed and none has taken a direct hit from a bad one.

Actually the "Bucky Dome" which was at Southern Illinois University has been moved. It is also in bad need of restoration, at present it is covered over with plastic on a lot on south Forest street not far from campus. (it is made of wood.)

Yeah, cement is one tough nut for Mother Nature to crack. Have you seen the inflatable dome style? They blow up a balloon and shoot 'crete over it. It's a one-piece cast, prolly stronger than AI.

Having lived in Cleveland back in the day, you know those geodesic domes are scattered all over NE Ohio.

Bucky ball homes are nice. Just bolt them down to the ground! A friend didn't have it done and during an earthquake - it slide sideways and off the foundation. Friends helped pick up the unit and move it back. Wasn't to far gone.

He and his wife moved out of earthquake country > "Lee Michaels" wrote
