📹 Neighbours Called Him Crazy, But He Had the Last Laugh
Coming up are some amazing stories about people who protected their home in amazing ways. Suggest a topic here to be turned …
Hi! I am one of the neighbors for the “eye of the storm” house in the 3rd story. To my knowledge, none of the neighbors nor I have ever laughed at the house before, We actaully thought that it looked really cool, and we thought it was insane it could withstand hurricanes. I just wanted to let that out there!
That cement dome, home, I have seen in person. I went to a place in Idaho that was building them and got firsthand information and toured through a few. They are nothing short of amazing. And cooling as well as heating costs are nil. They maintain a constant temperature of about 62 degrees without adding heat or cooling. So, if you want it hotter you add a little heat. They just put an extra balloon in where they wanted a window or a door, so it was easy to make them as well. And yes, his neighbors all laughed at him. They even accused him of having an aluminum foil hat. lol But he did indeed get the last laugh when his heating bills were less than $25 a month and theirs were upwards of $250 a month.
Hurricanes are insane, I was in the Navy down in Pensacola FL when Hurricane Katrina Hit. Our Command evacuated us to New Orleans where the insane floods happened. It was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. We spent two months there helping the victims which included removing bodies from the water. To this day a part of my heart goes out to the people of that City!!!
During the Mississippi flood of 1993 a farmer (Shorty Hutson) saved his house and outbuildings in similar fashion. His place was east of Niota, Illinois and a stones throw from the river. He had built earthen dam covered with plastic and sand bags. He with help from family and friends kept the water at bay.
The gentleman here in Texas was smart for buying the rubber tubing and filling it like he did, I bet those neighbors are sorry that they laughed at him. There is a man and his family living in Florida who happens to live in a monolithic dome home. Some people are intelligent enough to think ahead and take precautions against losing their homes.
Those water dams have been around for a LONG time. Pretty cool things. They also have better dams that don’t even require water. It’s a specially shaped sorta “ramp” that uses the floods own water pressure to hold the dams in place. There are cool articles on YouTube of people putting them up in fast moving streams and they instantly work.
The third house… The eye of storm is actually derived from a once famous Japanese architect who designed houses to be ergonomically correct. The home owner you saw designing his house was his own design, but based on the Japanese architect’s idea. Strictly speaking what is the only insect that can survive any disaster thrown at it? A cockroach. The house design is built just like an exoskeleton, both on the outside and the inside. If one was to puncture a cockroach with a thick needle the cockroach would explode because of the enormous pressure its body builds. Which is why people who have either stepped on one or pounded on one with their fist, thinks they’re dead until they start to move. The house is based off a cockroach’s body both internally and externally. Although the house doesn’t look like an insect, its inner structure and outer structure works like one. It’s protected against wind power, water power, earth movement, hurricanes, fires, tornadoes,. and typhoons, which all have the same effect. To destroy. Yet a cockroach can survive in the most extreme conditions thrown at it and can still live. Ironically, the first house of that kind that was built was also tested underwater in Japan of fifty feet above the roof. A diver using an oxygen tank dove in to capture people including the designer inside waving at him from a window. It is by far the most efficient house design on the planet using very little material, almost no wood and no toxic chemicals. And its cheaper to build per square foot rather than a default house made of both wood and brick that’s square.
Having a barrier around your house only works if it rains somewhere else and the flood waters come to you otherwise you’re catching the rain and it has no place to go probably the best idea is building your house as a boat on dry land like Noah or move in the case where tornadoes come through they are more wind than water the houses could all be totally underground since that’s where people go to hide from the storm in the first place it could be like Australia a whole underground civilization. The dome house looks cool
A friend of mine jacked his house up 4 feet and filled in the area below the house as well as the rest of his property. For a couple of years people asked why he did it and he told them about his grandpa talking about a flood some 60 years earlier. Then suddenly the area flooded and his house was the only one around there that was spared. You need to listen to those old stories when you hear them.
As far as floods and the drought in the Southwest, there may be a solution. As everyone knows, almost every year the Missouri and Mississippi rivers flood farms and towns all across the mid-west. What if several large pipelines were built to remove that excess water and pump it to the Southwest? It would solve two problems and also put many people to work.
Our house here was built in 1978-79. It was built by a contractor who built custom homes. When it came to something he didn’t like about the current codes, he improved on them. Mae the county inspector mad every time he came out as nothing ever matched the drawings. As a result, our home was still in decent shape even after Andrew did its worst. When the USACE, county, insurance company, and FEMA looked at it, they learned why it held up so well. Much of what they found, ended up in the new S FL Building Code. People laughed when they saw 2x4s bolted on edge into our garage doors on every panel level. We still have one of those doors and the only reason the other was replaced a few years back was because of rot. Not because of what a 155MPH Hurricane attempted to do.
1st guy, randy, he spent $8500. But most likely did engage his flood insurance. He would have been reimbursed $1500, or it might be $1200, (max payout for avoidance measures) its a choice, let it flood and get reimbursed and possibly come out ahead, or spend $8500-1500 & save the hassle and loss of your home till repairs are finished
I hardly believe neighbors ever laughed at him- I’m thinking they all probably wished they had gotten the same thing. I saw this thing about 5 years ago and couldn’t understand why everybody hadn’t bought one. They are reusable even, so it seems like a cheaper preventative answer rather than having to pay a huge claim.

the military, at large fire bases in Nam, used something like this, but a smaller version and they stored fuel in them. i saw some at this base i was flown to. the helo pilot said “if he knew that i was going to one of the ships anchored off shore, he would of flown me there.” i had to walk, and saw those fuel “dumps” on the way to the wharf.
One of the owners of a company I worked for that built prestressed concrete composite liquid storage tanks, both domed and open topped, built a house from a tank. I don’t know the particulars, but the largest freetanding domed tank ( no internal supports for the dome, just open space. ), Was a 20,000,000 gallon fresh water domed tank. The tank 50 feet high at the walls and, I’m not sure, 150 feet high at the center. It mesured 396 feet in diameter. This man had imense wealth as an owner of the Crom corporation. I’m quite sure he didn’t build a giant house but he could quite easily have built a 100 foot diameter multi story home. We built specialty tanks that were either earthquake proof or hurricane proof.
Randy’s neighbors got their houses an extreme makeover for free when their flood insurance paid for the loss. Randy still has the same tired old house and an $8,700 inner tube. I think the neighbors were right to laugh. Subsidized homeowners insurance incentivizes people to build in stupid places and just rebuild over and over.
I live in texas and I remember when Brazoria flooded. The flooding had reached all the way where I lived in Mew Caney tx. So much so that my store and a gas station across the street were the only stores people in the area could get to. It was stressful and worrisome because I was afraid of what could happen to my baby whilst I was stuck at work.
If there is any aqua dam users here please clear me up Why isn’t the water level rising inside the dam structure ? The dam do prevents ivasion of water from outside but, wouldn’t it act like a well or closed container and stores up the rain water as the water have no place to go ? By any chance is there any use of water pumps to prevent that ?
best part is that no neighbor or paserby tried to puncture or burn the barrier,. it is really fortunate that the family escaped the hateful and mischievous intent of anyone jealous enough to stab the barrier and make it loose its integrity. I wont be surprised if he and his family members guarded the barrier with guns to keep the jealous away from damaging the water front barrier.
7:55 Ouch. To spend thousands of dollars in preventative measures only for it to fail you and completely flood everything as if the measures were never taken in the first place, is way worse than doing nothing and taking the hit. Like, if you did nothing, well, you knew what could happen so you just deal with the outcome. But to spend lots of money and then failing for so little… Geez. That’s painful.
Wish I could of given you a thumps up, but I can’t, due to your blatant misrepresentation of “The House Fit For A King” segment. You stated the homeowner “did not follow Florida’s strict building codes”. What a lot of people, and you are definitely one, don’t understand is the Building Codes are a MINIMUM STANDARD. Meaning that’s the LEAST requirement you can build too. You can EXCEED them if you want, but you cannot go below this standards. You r would have been correct in saying the owner “not only met but exceed Florida’s already strict standards. ” z But that wouldn’t have been as “sensational”, would it?
Interesting article. But it’s also terrible to see how hard nature strikes in the States. In Germany I can remember four or five storms in the last 30-40 years. Millions of trees were snapped. Houses were only damaged if the roofs were poorly maintained. I live in a 300 year old wooden house with clay elements. (half-timbered house?) During the last storm some water came through the roof and the wallpaper had to be replaced. How can it be that houses in the States are so easy to destroy? Don’t you use bricks and concrete to build houses? Because of the article title. Did the neighbors really laugh? We have an old saying. Who laughs last, laughs best. However, I couldn’t laugh at the damage I see in the article. The poor families have lost everything, that’s sad. Don’t lose courage and greetings from Germany.
I remember growing up, we lived in a flood prone area. My father decided to raise the house up and increase the cinder block height of the foundation… 5 blocks.. He was called crazy, teased about nosebleeds.. until spring the the creek left it’s banks on it’s usual schedule.. the flood waters came up to the bottom of the floor boards (meaning he litterally had 1 inch to spare).. once that word got around.. everyone asked how high he was.. (5 blocks).. 2 years later, ours was the lowest house on the block.. sometimes.. Crazy should be crazy smart… or crazy good.
Revelation 21:4-7 “There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain. I am making everything new. Yes! I am coming soon.”. . Revelation 16:15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) . John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me….
20:31 Safe room saves family from tornado. What’s it made of? Concrete blocks. Why don’t Americans, especially in tornado and hurricane zones, make their entire houses out of concrete and brick? Seems obvious that you’d do that, maybe there’s a good reason though. Edit: Holy, sh–! Apparently, it’s because building codes don’t require anything but wood, and wood is cheap! Allow me to emit expletives for a few minutes, astounded at the loss of property and life due to false economy: “cost savings” in Tornado Alley! If I ever move to Tornado Alley, assuming I buy a standard house, I will definitely demolish my house and rebuild it strong, designed to withstand tornados and even hurricanes. Probably concrete sprayed inside a balloon, no weak points.
One thing most americans don’t know is concrete houses are the best against hurricanes. Average price of house they build is $250000 and it is paper house. Architects know it is tragic and not safe but they do the job what people want to be done. It is just funny how one nation thinks about building methods. Really. Barely every other nation makes concrete houses that last long. I don’t get this silly idea to build paper house and think it will last more than 10 years. In Europe buildings have more than 200 years oftentimes. In US to my surprise there’re in total just few buildings that live 100 years and they call it “monument”. Isn’t that funny? PS: I feel like this website is clickbait and exagerrated in its undertone.
The “safe room” is exactly how european houses are built like.. I understand the efficiency of building houses the american way, but I would imagine that you would do that only in climates that are never hit by floods/hurricanes or any other bad weather. Nevertheless, use concrete, rocks and bricks people!
(..) and one foot thick walls (..) – all of this is normal for a german house, for most european houses i guess. it´s called having a good standard, not overkilling anything 😀 but america is famous for its products quality not. 😉 20:19 and again: you can easily build a whole house like that. especially when i hear “tornado alley” or “80 tornados” i dont understand why people do not decide to build one real house for one time.
