"A house built to withstand the full fury of any hurricane." -- Diane Sawyer, Good Morning America
As Hurricane Frances approached Florida, ABC News contacted Monolithic to inquire about the Eye of the Storm. On September 2, 2004 Good Morning America produced a 6-minute segment on hurricane resistant housing in which the "Eye" was featured. The segment piqued the interest of many viewers.
While Frances battered many Florida homes, Monolithic Dome Owners, Billy Elkins and Deborah Razete-Elkins of Stuart, Florida closed their hurricane shutters and relaxed as the storm passed by. Their home is appropriately named "Safe Harbor Dome." The residence came through the storm completely undamaged. You can read more about their hurricane experience here on the Monolithic bbs.
The property surrounding their domes was devastated, but Mike Valente of the Animal Rescue League in West Palm Beach said their domes came through Frances without a scratch.He says that if they hadn't looked out the window during the storm, it would have been impossible to tell that there was a hurricane.
