Will Florida see more of these domed hurricane-proof structures?
Click here for link to New York Times article. These are popping up all over coastal areas of Texas as dual use community facilities and storm shelters - funded with a good share of FEMA money, with a required local contribution. Maybe the Casino building should have been one of these?

Amazing how a town of 5,500 can afford such a structure but with FEMA kicking in it certainly is something Lake Worth should look into. I've always heard Buckminster Fullers giodesicdomes were
such structures that withstand the elements. As it would be used for evacuation how is the property over 95 doing? with a nice design such as a Buckminster building that might encourage other businesses.
