I've read some on dome structures but I was also missed by 800 yards in 2011. That wind takes what it wants. I'm still not good in tornadoes.

Most of the time it’s not THAT the wind is blowing, but WHAT the wind is blowing. They don’t ever tout how well those things hold up against a tree limb at 200mph. And once there’s an opening in the ext wall, it’s done.
Plus, try hanging pictures, arranging square pcs of furniture, etc in a house with curved walls.

because they are ugly as dog shucks! That was my first thoughts as well. Looks like a dwelling out of a Star Wars movie.

Out of curiosity, why would it be higher construction costs?
I’m being serious. I don’t build houses, but when I look at it, it looks to be that the exterior is fitted together with modular panels that are probably fabricated at a plant somewhere, then shipped to the consumer.
I can see potential cost savings in no shingles, rafters, and osb. No brick, stucco, or siding. Assuming exterior would be cheaper.
Interior I’d assume to be framed walls same as a stick built home, so no curves on the walls. Everything is framed internally same as traditional built home?
Insulation, wiring, plumbing, slab, etc…..no cost savings.

I don’t think you’d hang it to the curve. I think internally you’d have to frame just like a traditional house. Pretty sure the same thing with the metal building type structures you see folks building with. I am not sure though.

There's a tornado proof house in a nice subdivision off Hwy 53 north of Huntsville. It's built in a hill facing East . Only thing you see is the front. When you come down the street it looks like a vacant lot till you get around the other side. I'd rather have a square house built in a hill than that multi igloo thing pictured above.
That's a perfect area to have one too , if there's a tornado outbreak anywhere in the Southeast US , strong chance there will be one in that area.
