Tornado-proof homes (continued...)

A little over one year ago in March, I was already lamenting against the woefully inadequate building design to protect residential, institutional and commercial occupants against tornadoes. The one that just hit Oklahoma City is another reminder that regulators governments and architects aren't doing enough to address this horrible risk.

So instead of complaining, I'm proposing something that could transform the way people build new home and rebuild damage one in “twister country.” Use a flying saucer design offering minimum resistance to wind and equip it with automatic shutters that would further streamline their surface.

Simple, cost effective and long lasting!
