00:00In the heart of Florida's Hurricane Zone, where devastation seems inevitable,
00:04a handful of homes are defying nature's wrath.
00:07Meet GoldenEye, a dome-shaped home that withstood Hurricane Michael,
00:11a Category 5 monster that demolished entire neighborhoods in 2018.
00:16Yet, this unique structure barely had a scratch.
00:20Why do these dome homes survive?
00:22Experts say it's all in the design round.
00:24Aerodynamic shapes let wind flow around, rather than pushing against.
00:29Them think of it like a wheel's spokes distributing force, stronger and more stable.
00:35As hurricanes become fiercer, these resilient homes offer hope
00:39built by companies like DelTec and Monolithic Domes.
00:42They're gaining interest, especially as Florida recently faced devastation
00:46from Hurricanes Milton and Helene.
00:49Are dome homes the future of storm-proof living with climate change-intensifying storms?
