Last week, we were watching Discovery Channel's EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HURRICANES.  It was a program I eagerly watched, seeing if I could glean anymore information about the upcoming hurricane season.  All of sudden, Mark and I are on the screen strolling down the beach in front of our house.  Then, there is an interview with Mark about the structural properties of the Dome.  I was impressed by the graphics explaining why the Dome of a Home was better capable of withstanding a raging hurricane.   I was impressed!!! with the program and with Mark.  The realization of Mark's dream and the reality of its hurricane resistant qualities never ceases to amaze me.

The Dome of a Home was completed less than three years ago.  When we began this project in 2001, our mission statement was:

Our mission is to help reduce the suffering associated with the destruction and
                loss of one's home in a natural disaster. We want to help promote awareness
                of the superior building technologies that can alleviate unnecessary losses.
                 Many of the new technologies are more energy efficient and environmentally
                 friendly than their predecessors allowing the construction of structures while
                 protecting and preserving the delicate balance of nature.

Now, in less than three years, our efforts to promote awareness have exceeded our wildest dreams.  The Dome of a Home has been on programs and in publications around the world.  This thrills us because people are becoming aware of that choices do exist.  We do not build domes, we are merely homeowners that are thrilled we found an option after experiencing repetitive storm damage.  We want to share our experiences with other homeowners.  Hurricanes are not the only disasters domes can withstand.  Monolithic domes also fare earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, and radiation fallout extremely well. 

 With hurricanes such a hot topic right now, the Dome's reputation for durability and dependability has catapulted to the top of the media's awareness.  
As hurricane season approaches, I have noticed some repeat programming featuring the Dome of a Home so you might see the Dome on your TV soon.  If you do, please email me at domeofahome@aol.com and let me know where you saw it.  I am trying to keep track of it, but I know I am missing several.  Here is what I have:
