Couple in North Carolina lost their home for a third time
since 1968 to tornadoes. I wonder if they're moving this time.
Just heard that on the Weather Channel.

1. I hope so. Am a firm believer that when an area becomes a flood zone or a tornado alley or
a hazard, get out.

2. They just need to build smarter.
A passive solar home using concrete & earth sheltered design would probably survive a tornado.
