HOUSTON — Disaster-proof domes that can sustain winds in excess of 250 mph will cost taxpayers more than $50 a foot.
FEMA has now offered to pick up the tab of at least $50 million dollars, to install disaster shelters in and around Houston that, according to the manufacturer, (ABC Domes based out of Sealy – Division of Golden Sands General Contracting out of Miami) are “almost impenetrable”.
The company has been building these type of shelters for decades.
The government has also offered to cover 75% of the cost on structures over 20,00 square feet in size. A facility of this size would cost around $1 million.
What is interesting is how recent reports vary in nature. Some say that the domes are to protect citizens from hurricanes while others say that FEMA equipment will be held in the domes.
If it is true that FEMA will store equipment in the domes, why now?
Another interesting aspect reported was the fact that extra security and fencing measures have been implemented around the construction sites for the domes.
Chron.com reported on a new 33,000 square foot structure that is raising eyebrows;
Crews working from the inside reinforce the structure with iron and concrete until it’s a fortress that not even the U.S. Air Force could destroy. A security fence around the perimeter keeps the curious at bay.
A townsperson jokes, “This is Area 52.”
But the story of the 33,000-square-foot dome that’s risen like a blister on the prairie off Interstate 10 in Sealy is no work of fiction.
It’s the Texas home of ABC Domes, a company that specializes in helping banks get back to business in the wake of terrestrial disasters.
Inside will be stored generators, trucks, communications equipment and an array of repair supplies waiting to be dispatched as soon as the next hurricane or tornado (or wildfire, earthquake, etc.) has passed.
When there’s notice, as with a looming storm, workers will be housed there as well, ready to roll as soon as the wind dies down.
The domes are comprised of special fabrics and steel reinforced concrete materials and can get pretty intricate in design detail.
FEMA plans to build about 35 shelters along the Texas coast.
When the owner of ABC Domes Peter Fedele was asked what type of shelter does he live in he replied;
“In Miami, I have a traditional 50-year-old home. I also have an apartment inside our dome headquarters in Sealy and Lakeland, Fla.
I have a farm in Jamaica where I go three or four times a year. My farmhouse is on a mountain and made of concrete and is hurricane-resistant.
In Jamaica, I live off the grid. I use solar and wind power, collect my own rainwater and grow my own fruits and vegetables and raise my own meat. I was good friends with the late mother of Bob Marley, Stella Marley Booker, and we lived in the same village. We built a school there and named it after her. We’re also planning to build domes in Jamaica.”
According to Golden Sands General Contracting’s official website;
Golden Sands was founded in 1988 on the solid building blocks of quality, integrity and personal accountability.
Today, we serve the commercial general contracting needs of some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the nation.
We are called on for their toughest challenges because our unmatched expertise and determined work ethic delivers each project to success.

http://www.terravivos.com/secure/threatpoleshift.htm The pole shift hypothesis is the hypothesis that the axis of rotation of a planet has not always been at its present-day locations or that the axis will not persist there; in other words, that its physical poles had been or will be shifted. The Pole shift hypothesis is almost always discussed in the context of Earth, but other bodies in the Solar System may have experienced axial reorientation during their existences.
While many scientists believe a pole shift would occur over hundreds, or thousands of years, many conjectures have been suggested involving a very rapid polar shift that may occur over a few days, or even hours. The potential forces that could cause a reorientation of the Earth's axis of rotation include:
• A postglacial crustal rebound.
• A high-velocity asteroid or comet which hits Earth at such an angle that the lithosphere moves independent of the mantle.
• A high-velocity asteroid or comet which hits Earth at such an angle that the entire planet shifts axis.
• An unusually magnetic celestial object which passes close enough to Earth to temporarily reorient the magnetic field, which then "drags" the lithosphere about a new axis of rotation. Eventually, the sun's magnetic field again determines the Earth's, after the intruding celestial object "returns" to a location from which it cannot influence Earth.
• Perturbations of the topography of the core-mantle boundary, perhaps induced by differential core rotation and shift of its axial rotation vector, leading to CMB mass redistributions.
• Mass redistributions in the mantle from mantle avalanches or other deformations. A slow pole shift in the poles would display the most minor alterations and no destruction. A more dramatic view assumes more rapid changes, with dramatic alterations of geography and localized areas of destruction due to earthquakes and tsunamis, and winds greater than 400 miles per hour. Regardless of speed, the results of a shift occurring results in major climate changes for most of the Earth's surface, as areas that were formerly equatorial become temperate, and areas that were temperate become either more equatorial or more arctic. To help resist this form of catastrophe, the Vivos shelters are designed to withstand:
• The effects of a magnetic pole shift • 450 MPH surface winds • Flooding submersion for extended periods • Extreme external fires at 1,250 Fahrenheit • Force 10 earthquakes in successions
