Actually, in one of the press release photos for the new PG series, they show the construction of some domes in Greensburg. Not sure where — or how many — but they’re thinking along those lines as well, Remy. Great suggestion.

Rebuilding Greensburg as a green LEED certified community is great. How about also creating architecture which can withstand such tornadoes! Domes are tornado proof.

i bet a sod house would work well too – they are so freaking solid! i don’t know how they’re building ‘em in Greensburg but if they are using any of these eco-friendly methods, might not matter if a tornado did strike.

Thank goodness the tornado didn’t repeat the destructive pattern…perhaps it’s a sign that the UNIVERSE respects our GREEN efforts!

I’ve been reading that some are opting to build dome homes so even if they have a tornado hit their house they’ll be just fine…. or underground homes as well. Having had two homes hit by tornadoes in my family I know how painful it can be.. but our neighbor’s was untouched because it was an earth home. Go dome or underground and you can’t be touched.
