Hi! I am one of the neighbors for the "eye of the storm" house in the 3rd story. To my knowledge, none of the neighbors nor I have ever laughed at the house before, We actaully thought that it looked really cool, and we thought it was insane it could withstand hurricanes. I just wanted to let that out there!

This home was built to South Florida standards of Hurricane cat 5 requirements. After hurricane Andrew building codes changed dramatically in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties. Why the rest of the state, especially the pan handle does not adopt the same standards is mind boggling. For this narrator to say this man did not build to Florida's strict standards is misleading at best.

That cement dome, home, I have seen in person. I went to a place in Idaho that was building them and got firsthand information and toured through a few. They are nothing short of amazing. And cooling as well as heating costs are nil. They maintain a constant temperature of about 62 degrees without adding heat or cooling. So, if you want it hotter you add a little heat. They just put an extra balloon in where they wanted a window or a door, so it was easy to make them as well. And yes, his neighbors all laughed at him. They even accused him of having an aluminum foil hat. lol But he did indeed get the last laugh when his heating bills were less than $25 a month and theirs were upwards of $250 a month.

it was built to get drinkable and irriguation water to a nearby city but the river overflowed way more than they expected and the dam broke (resulting in more than 400 deaths)
now the ancient wisdom: romans were already established in this city and had the same water problem ... but they knew this river wasn't suited for it so they got the water from another more suitable location ...

One of the owners of a company I worked for that built prestressed concrete composite liquid storage tanks, both domed and open topped, built a house from a tank. I don't know the particulars, but the largest freetanding domed tank ( no internal supports for the dome, just open space. ), Was a 20,000,000 gallon fresh water domed tank. The tank 50 feet high at the walls and, I'm not sure, 150 feet high at the center. It mesured 396 feet in diameter. This man had imense wealth as an owner of the Crom corporation. I'm quite sure he didn't build a giant house but he could quite easily have built a 100 foot diameter multi story home. We built specialty tanks that were either earthquake proof or hurricane proof.

@blackmamba99971

The third house... The eye of storm is actually derived from a once famous Japanese architect who designed houses to be ergonomically correct. The home owner you saw designing his house was his own design, but based on the Japanese architect's idea. Strictly speaking what is the only insect that can survive any disaster thrown at it? A cockroach. The house design is built just like an exoskeleton, both on the outside and the inside. If one was to puncture a cockroach with a thick needle the cockroach would explode because of the enormous pressure its body builds. Which is why people who have either stepped on one or pounded on one with their fist, thinks they're dead until they start to move. The house is based off a cockroach's body both internally and externally. Although the house doesn't look like an insect, its inner structure and outer structure works like one. It's protected against wind power, water power, earth movement, hurricanes, fires, tornadoes,. and typhoons, which all have the same effect. To destroy. Yet a cockroach can survive in the most extreme conditions thrown at it and can still live. Ironically, the first house of that kind that was built was also tested underwater in Japan of fifty feet above the roof. A diver using an oxygen tank dove in to capture people including the designer inside waving at him from a window. It is by far the most efficient house design on the planet using very little material, almost no wood and no toxic chemicals. And its cheaper to build per square foot rather than a default house made of both wood and brick that's square. A wise man once said, that anything square cannot stand. And he was right. Four corners puts an extreme amount of atmosphere pressure to every wall of a home, yet it still sinks over time. The eye of the storm, doesn't sink or move or shift even during a tectonic movement. A house like that costs around sixty one dollars a square foot to build. A default square home of wood is about ninety seven dollars a square foot. And it can be destroyed in seconds in a hurricane. I know where my next house is coming from.

Those water dams have been around for a LONG time. Pretty cool things. They also have better dams that don’t even require water. It’s a specially shaped sorta “ramp” that uses the floods own water pressure to hold the dams in place. There are cool videos on YouTube of people putting them up in fast moving streams and they instantly work.
