But it takes money, and time - mostly it take will, and that's been lacking for a long time.<BR/> <BR/>Next, it sounds weird, but it might solve most of the wind damage problem - round houses.<BR/> <BR/>Yes, round houses. Down in Pennsacola a government experiment illustrated how sound the idea is. Every home on an island built conventionally was destroyed (last year), but several houses build by the program. <BR/> <BR/>They weren't completely round, they just had rounded edges added to them. They were completely intact. Not even a broken window. The shape allows the wind to wrap around the huildings.<BR/> <BR/>The rectangular homes were completely destroyed.<BR/> <BR/>This seems so simple a child would understand, but it goes against the very notion of what we think a house should look like so it may take time before we see these houses slowly replace all the rubble from the continually destroyed rectangular shaped structures.<BR/> <BR/>JeromeProphetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617836.post-1127357299655114892005-09-21T21:48:00.000-05:002005-09-21T21:48:00.000-05:00Well, Rita can't get much stronger; it's now the t...Well, Rita can't get much stronger; it's now the third most intense hurricane on record, according to National Hurricane Center.<BR/><BR/>It's frightening to think these hurricanes are going to become the norm. The entire Gulf coast would soon become uninhabitable.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368635217133898734noreply@blogger.com
