Out of interest, would a yurt withstand a tornado? Has anyone ever had that experience? Can't imagine it'd fare better than a regular build house. Some natural...

I'd still have a tornado shelter. How far off the ground your deck is will affect how well it surves. What is upwind will affect if the wind is hitting the...
I concur with the storm shelter idea if you are in an area prone to tornadoes. I guess it could double as a root cellar if you build it right ;-) We have had...

The winter board could be placed on a hinge anything from two wires to a proper hinge if it adds too much weight add a counter ballance. Here in the states we...
Since were beatting a dead horse. And a few here could stand to read Ben Franklin's handbook on Diplomacy. Dose Mongolia have Hurricanes and tornadoes? Do...
