The sheer idiocy of people living in cyclone and tornado zones is highlighted once again by everyone up there on the Queensland coast having to run for the hills.

Needless to say, homes up there and in America's Tornado Alley should be built as dome-shaped structures over which the wind flows harmlessly.

Calm down young lady, your hysterical ignorance is getting the better of you.

1. Not running from the wind, but the expected storm surge

2. Houses are built to cyclone ratings, and have been for 40 years

3. It happens regularly, and we would rather live in NQ than down south.

Nonsense, Sweet-Cheeks, I've seen countless news footage from tornado and cyclone areas of the world in which the local councils have allowed housing designs to be just as they are anywhere else.

1. The roofs should be domed in one moulded piece.

2. The walls should have no corners but be circular in shape.

3. The windows should be made of slightly parabolic Perspex, and not glass.

4. All electrical cables should be underground.

5. All cars should be VW Beetles with perspex windows.

6. All houses should be slightly raised off the ground on piers.

You should ring Premier Tuckshop Lady and tell her of your brilliant solution to cyclones.

Replace all current cyclone building codes, which you obviously don't understand or haven't read and replace every single house, office warehouse, skyscraper, farm and shopping complex with a fkken perspex bubble.

Ill be waiting to hear back from you after the call.

It's the same here in bush-fire prone areas.

It's beyond any kind of intelligence, education, or commonsense to understand WHY! the people who live in those hazardous areas don't phone up for a back-hoe and bulldozer to come over and dig a bunker for them to take refuge in when the fires come lapping at their heels.

And then, sedcondarily, people living in these bush-fire hazard areas are notorious for not insuring their properties from being destroyed.

thats because if they do they dont qualify for the hand outs after all the fund raising.......silly.

Ah-haaah ... so that's it?

Rabid nonsense.

The Eskimos learnt way back in ancient times to build their homes in a dome-shape to protect themselves from tornadoes and cyclones.

gum trees are not well known for deep root systems..

EUCALYPTUS TREE (GUM TREE)
Eucalyptus has many varying types, differing in height, shape, and colour, but they all have similar characteristics that make them unsuitable for planting near a home on your property:

This species of tree can grow quite large, and both root system and canopy will pose possible issues.
Eucalyptus trees' root systems can be quite aggressive and far-reaching, and it is common for retaining walls or building foundations to be disturbed by searching roots. Roots can travel dozens metres, and further than their dripline.
Branches are likely to die off but not fall straight away. This leaves dangerous objects that may damage a person or property during storms or times of strong wind. Often eucalyptus branches can just become weak and fall to the ground without any external help.
Often, single large gum tree specimens are lone survivors of development. Where once they were a part of a larger stand of trees, naturally designed to withstand strong wind and storms, now alone and possibly structurally weak.
It is vital to have a qualified arborist to maintain your tree at least every two years to remove dead branches and check the structural integrity of the tree for safety.

a pain in the rear in other words...

and they drop leaves 24/7..arhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If the damn tree was dome-shaped this wouldn't have happened.

They plant trees with shallow root systems in cyclone and tornado areas and then are surprised when these kill people by falling on cars or homes.

The Eskimos learnt way back in ancient times to build their homes in a dome-shape to protect themselves from tornadoes and cyclones.

So the eskimos learn to protect themselves from tropical cyclones by building igloos did they?

Might point out not a lot of fkken tornadoes in the arctic circle either.

But thanks for the laugh. Grin
