MIT students designed a house that will survive a tsunami. You can see it at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/06/050608055016.htm and the cost to build this is about 1,200. I designed one that will withstand tsunami, cyclone, hurricane, tornado and fire. Not built yet but I had one science teacher at the U of Oregon, Michael Mitchell tell me it's fascinating, the Governor of Oregon, Kitzhaber, wrote an e-mail and asked me to continue working on it. My house is submersible, aerodynamic, there is no wood so it won't burn, and escapable after submerged. If there is anybody out there also interested in this concept please contact me at meghager@gmail.com. I'm a student, artist, fabric designer, and taking Interior Architecture. My web site is www.fabricposh.com When Katrina happened my friends were lost for one week, and that's when I thought it's time someone comes up with a house that can withstand any disaster. I think I have it. Everytime I see a new disaster I wish I could get one built. All I need is someone who lives near a coast and wants one. It's not going to the the $1,200.00 cost of the MIT house but mine will keep Grandma's pictures dry, and the people inside safe. Let's try one. Meg
