<<Tim, I can easily see that a concrete dome will withstand a lot of weather, but who really wants to live in a dome. The shape of a dome restricts the use of the space within.>>

A friend built a dome home here in the 70s. Not a concrete home but wood. Made a nice pad for a single guy. Two stories in the middle and very open.

At this time, we are in a concrete block home, but it is 15 miles from the coast, and is on the highest point of Hillsborough county. All of 40 feet above sea level.

So I guess your home can deal with storms pretty well.

where there are still some of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I can see the Blue Ridge off in the distance out my window at work.
