You are saving lives thank you

Hi! I am one of the neighbors for the "eye of the storm" house in the 3rd story. To my knowledge, none of the neighbors nor I have ever laughed at the house before, We actaully thought that it looked really cool, and we thought it was insane it could withstand hurricanes. I just wanted to let that out there!
Only ones laughing are the pigs with houses of straw and wood before the big bad wolf huffs and puffs. And the dislikes are from the insurace companies ;)
Doesn't matter. Not interesting. Put it on KZhead and just say people were laughing at the man. Much more interesting now and gets clicks...
Yup it’s karma sometimes when it’s clickbait
the media is known to blow things out of proportion for views
This home was built to South Florida standards of Hurricane cat 5 requirements. After hurricane Andrew building codes changed dramatically in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties. Why the rest of the state, especially the pan handle does not adopt the same standards is mind boggling. For this narrator to say this man did not build to Florida's strict standards is misleading at best.
"If you have an idea that you think is genuinely good, don't let some idiot talk you out of it".~ Stan Lee
Okay
Words of wisdom by “the man” himself. Dododog must be a dummy if he doesn’t know who Stan Lee is. 😏

yup
So if i think suicide is genuinely good, and an idiot friend tries to talk me out of it, i should still engage in suicide which i think is genuinely good? Asking for a friend
My father's advice: "Never buy or build on a flood plain." Mission accomplished, Dad. Thanks for the sound advice! :)
you coule raise a 10ft terrain bump for your house 10 feet in the middle of a flat land is unreachable...
Also never build/buy a subterranean lot. You'llhave issues with water and in cold climates snow will make for a dangerous driveway.
It's like people that live in tornado alley and get upset every time they have to build a new house...........the clue is in the name.
@@flingwings4070 Actually my home in Wyoming is half in the ground. Keeps it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and we get bone chilling cold but not much snow in the northwestern quadrant of the state. In fact we had the most snow I have seen in years at the end of 2022, 5 inches.
We always bought homes on hills.
That's got to be the best feeling ever when it works in the moment, knowing you made the right call.
His homeowner's insurance should drastically discount his premiums for a few years since he went above and beyond to save them some money.
Probably paid him the cost of the protection.
They should employ him
They should but probably WON'T!
Yeah they probably should but come on now we all know that's never going to happen
Homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover floods!! Flood is specifically excluded. You can see why.
i love how his neighbors are in the comments saying that they never laughed at him😂
Knowing they was calling him the neighborhood weirdo with the big floatation device around his house...😂
He must be the HOA president

Hurricanes are insane, I was in the Navy down in Pensacola FL when Hurricane Katrina Hit. Our Command evacuated us to New Orleans where the insane floods happened. It was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. We spent two months there helping the victims which included removing bodies from the water. To this day a part of my heart goes out to the people of that City!!!
Did they move you to pre-position you into the path of the storm, or to move you away from it? I ask because I remember landfall was predicted for the Florida panhandle for a few days.
That cement dome, home, I have seen in person. I went to a place in Idaho that was building them and got firsthand information and toured through a few. They are nothing short of amazing. And cooling as well as heating costs are nil. They maintain a constant temperature of about 62 degrees without adding heat or cooling. So, if you want it hotter you add a little heat. They just put an extra balloon in where they wanted a window or a door, so it was easy to make them as well. And yes, his neighbors all laughed at him. They even accused him of having an aluminum foil hat. lol But he did indeed get the last laugh when his heating bills were less than $25 a month and theirs were upwards of $250 a month.
Sounds like his home insurance should cut him a check for $8k for saving them $100k+
Yea I agree
lmao honestly yeah
The water has to go somewhere. In the end the insurance company probably didn’t save anything due to the extra flood damage other nearby homes got
@@me-it9jn Ur incorrect bro. I won’t tell u why tho
Agreed but thats not how it Works
"Randy's neighbours couldn't afford to laugh anymore" LMAO
They couldn’t afford insurance either
So I just thought about just creating a giant steel dome that comes up from out of the ground from a concrete and fits right over your house and property.
I just read this and heard it at the same time
They couldn’t even afford there ego anymore either.
@@JosiahFickinger -- I also thought about building something like that, but it wasn't due to floods, but rather, because of the destructive potential of wind. Because of its spherical shape, it should offer significantly more resistance against tornadoes, floods, ice storms, etc. Granted, it would need to be constructed properly (the foundation would be critical), and what type of ground it would be constructed on, would also be of note, but digress.
I absolutely love the lift homes not only for its brilliant design but for the reasons it was built, to provide low income flood safe homes to low in low come people.
I work in the area of brazoria. The flooding was unbelievable. I've seen it now three different years. And I still find it completely amazing. Having gone through hurricane Harvey myself and the flooding that came with that, I could go the rest of my life without ever seeing it flood again

I love the way the "eye of the storm" house looks. It's a beautiful design. I looks like it's from the future.
This worked for our home also. We were so tired of sandbags. We had 6 ml plastic tubbing, filled it with water and put a cap on each end that my husband made. No more flooded garage or worry.

It's fun until the flood overwhelms his little pump.

Glad he had the ability to protect his home. I imagine many don’t have that kind of cash laying around even if it is a great idea
Amazing stories, most of all the family with their safe room. But what I liked the most was „the eye of the storm“ for it’s ingenious beauty and the „lift house“ for its brilliant and cheap concept 😍👍🏻 Great compilation 👏🏻
I think the “eye of the storm” dome house is beautiful.
Me too. Really loved it.
My grandfather’s house on the same island, withstood Hugo. In 1938, he dug down to the water table and put the pilings on creosote covered crosses before building the house. When the wind blows, the house rocks with the wind. He lost some shingles and screens. Our house across the street, and three others around him just blew/washed away.
@@morganfalkdesigns 😳
I think the same too! when I have enough budget, I want to change my house' model like that..
Not only is it beautiful and, as the video says, hurricane proof, but domed buildings also have higher energy-efficiency ratings. On top of that, curves are natural shapes in the wild and (something I learned only last year) but human psychology adjusts to natural shapes far quicker and easier than to straight edges and sharp angles, so this house would also be far better for your mental health. It literally is a win-win-win house.
Fortunately, my home sits high enough that if there ever was enough water that I needed to be concerned with, we'd be needing an ark.
Sure bro I build for you one send me your adress
Same
I Noah guy who could do that.
@@treeonahill3557 nice pun
My boat is parked by the back porch, fully fueled and ready to go. 👍👍
The gentleman here in Texas was smart for buying the rubber tubing and filling it like he did, I bet those neighbors are sorry that they laughed at him. There is a man and his family living in Florida who happens to live in a monolithic dome home. Some people are intelligent enough to think ahead and take precautions against losing their homes.
No one laughed at him. It's a clickbait video - stop believing everything you hear on youtube....Most people's reaction was curiosity and support for the guy. Also it's not about being smart - it's about having 10k to throw around on a project that might not have worked. Cause insurance will pay for the house dmg, but not those 10k.
@@cl1cka yeah we heard you the first ten times on multiple comments. sure, the insurance may not have covered the tube money, but it won't recover memories either. and memories are some of the main things that define us.
@@cl1cka also not everyone has insurance
@@kyraflick75 Memories are you own - they are not tied to objects. Again the guys who live in flood areas have insurance. The insurance covers MORE than their house is worth, since it's a SPECIAL kind of insurance - it's guaranteed by the government, not companies. The neighbors actually made money....
@@cl1cka while that first part may be true, sometimes they can be somewhat tied to objects. for instance say someone has had a traumatic experience with an object, and then sometimes, when they look at that item in a certain way, they may remember that experience. or if someone sees a certain item and remembers that one night they hung out with their friend or something. now the flood wipes away those items and to most people, it takes the memory(ies) with it/them.
I was in Brenham at the time of the storms with Grandparents. They lost their house cars and even some of their livestock equipment. I love you vids keep up the cool and awesome work.
I was Randy’s neighbor, no one laughed at him or called him crazy.
😂🤣
Did u pay the price of the floods?.
No shit!!! People are crazy.
His barrier also looked nothing like the click bait Photo Shopped picture that led into this story, which per usual for this channel's videos, is 99% nothing to do with the subject in the title.
I hate annoying videos clickbait junk story filled with made up neighbors laughing at this guy. They did not laugh at him at all. Just another channel to block.
I wouldn’t judge that hurricane house. That looks like some futuristic home that I would want to live in
Reminds me of the Hall of Doom from the Super Friends (but also of Darth Stewie’s helmet in Family Guy: Blue Harvest/Star Wars movies)
Looks straight out of Dragonball lol.
A neighbor of his posted and said nobody laughed at him etc and thought it was great
Me too. 👍
I was Randy's neighbor... I laughed... I remember walking by and saying, I quote "There is no way such a ridiculous plan could work in the face of such record breaking rainfall. " I am embarrassed and ashamed. Sorry randy...
Yea u better be! Look who's laughing now! Ahahahahaha!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahha
Thought least one would of ridiculed the idea :) That goes for new ideas....
It's cool that there are comments claiming to be his neighbors and admitting that they never laughed at him or called him crazy
Yes, I like that some people are setting the record straight. In fairness, it could be that SOME people laughed at him, if not all, and if not these neighbors. But laughing at someone trying to save something is not very supportive. The better thing is to wish them the best, even if one can’t help a healthy amount of skepticism, and see how it actually turns out.
The lessons: build your house out of concrete, make it circular, put it on stilts, or surround it with a mini-dam. With a combination of these things your home can withstand floods, fire, and wind. Now the real trick is paying for all of this.
Just building houses out of concrete and bricks would be a huge improvement for America
Or just stay away from low lying areas
We have a construction company and we mostly build with concrete, it is not only extremely strong, it is half the price of bricks and it keeps the temperature in the house pleasant throughout the year because of it's slow release properties. Concrete has many benefits. Besides building with wood in our country is not cheap either. I am puzzled by the fact that the Americans mostly build with wood, did they never hear the three little pigs story?😉
@@JasonJason210 I agree flood plains should be avoided but what about huge storms?
@@honeybunch5765 You can also with obviously more cost make concrete look like brick if you really want. It's just a matter of having the pattern in the mould you build for the concrete. Used to work for a cement company myself.
Randy, you followed your gut instincts and it paid off! Lesson: Think for yourself. Be undeterred by what others think. What you did has earned the admiration of millions of people around the world.
He didn't think for himself - he was offered a solution by a company.... Not everyone can throw 10k+ on a solution that might not work as all.... The insurance will pay for damages for those people, but if you spent 10k on that dam and it didn't work - insurance aint paying that.....
@@cl1cka He did think for himself, though. He thought there might be a better solution out there, and he was right.
@@scratchpenny Not really - he consulted a company and they offered solution.... That's not really thinking - that's doing the bare minimum on google.... Let's not pretend like this solution is something amazing....The only reason people are not choosing it - not everyone has 10k to throw...... Also I feel people don't understand that rebuilding a house after flooding dmg is actually better in most cases - he insurance is covered by the government, so people in most cases get more money than what their houses were worth....
@@cl1cka You sure are discounting the time and energy it takes to learn about, understand, and deploy this solution. If you don't want to call it "thinking," then OK. But he did follow his own mind and found a solution that others might not have thought was viable/possible. The other arguments are a different discussion altogether. But if that's your point, then just say that. There is no need to knock someone for implementing a successful solution to an immediate problem.
@@scratchpenny Mate, this wasn't some super hidden solution - this method was in use 10 years before this guy "found" it.... The ONLY constraint is money....You are putting 10k+, that insurance companies won't give you back if something goes wrong.... So you are basically all circle praising a guy having lots of money, that throwing 10k+ on this was nothing....... You want a thinking man - let him build it himself.... Also the only reason his neighbors didn't do it - they are getting more out of the flood insurance, than their houses are worth....There is a reason people keep re-building houses of flood plains - the insurance is covered by the government and they are taking advantage of it to get free money....
Love that the first guy went headfirst into solving the problem and used a product that is really pretty cool
The only thing that amounts to more overkill than Randy's protective barrier, *are the amount of words you use to* *describe what happened.* Good grief man; just tell us/show us what happened w/o his giving their whole lifes history.
Dudes just trynna milk out as much as he can to make the vid longer lol

I wish there was a channel like this but does not make their neighbors sound like villains when most people where probably preparing for the storm in their own ways rather then laughing.
Hope you're not their neighbor who's speaking your side
Exactly..
Yep! And I wish they would stop making videos like these where there's a narrator stretching the story out to such great lengths, using photos that don't go with the presented story, like the laughing man in the red bow tie and the flood pics from other published floods. Ugh. Laughing bow tie man and other photos are added nonsense for more drama, and all told like Aesops Fable. The people behind this video are laughing at viewers as they count their proceeds.
I agree with everyone here about stretching the story out & adding hurtful comments about his neighbors who are scared outta their minds their gunna lose everything they worked there whole lives to build what they have! I love the concrete round house on concrete beams! Wooden piers don't have a chance against raging water! We live in San Antonio, Texas & when I was 19 my family & I saw canoes wrapped around the treetops 1000 ft in the air, along with a fridge in the treetop with it's door open. The way climate change is changing our world - we will take many trips to whatever state we think we might like to move to... We will probably live "Off The Grid"! Thank Y'all for the wonderful information!
It's all tongue in the cheek, don't take it so seriously, common sense will tell you nobody laughed, I did not think for one moment anyone laughed at their neighbours. It's more a Noah and the ark reference.
That LIFT house looks like a great idea! I love it!
His intelligence is amaizing....Creative genius!😀
I have a ton of respect for that LIFT company, they deserve a ton of credit, I’m going to look into seeing if they build homes like that in the United States which I doubt

This idea is not new and have been used in Netherlands to build new floating concrete houses. I can't put a web link, but look up the businessinsider article about it.

I was so confused at the lift house until I saw what it did
The guy dabbing on the roof almost killed me!
Randy,in the first storyline, obviously a fighter....👌🕊️
A friend of mine jacked his house up 4 feet and filled in the area below the house as well as the rest of his property. For a couple of years people asked why he did it and he told them about his grandpa talking about a flood some 60 years earlier. Then suddenly the area flooded and his house was the only one around there that was spared. You need to listen to those old stories when you hear them.
Similar to the 3/11 tsunami that hit NE Japan in 2011. That seems to happen every 30-50 years and there are engraved stones on mountainsides warning people not to live below them. Of course, humans don't listen. Those that didn't listen are the ones that died. And will continue to as it will happen again.
"You need to listen to those old stories when you hear them." Well yes, especially if those stories are natural disaster related.
@@TwinShards *Yep. Definitely👌!*
reminds me of a dam built in the 50's that broke 5 years after it was finished in France (Malpasset Dam) it was built to get drinkable and irriguation water to a nearby city but the river overflowed way more than they expected and the dam broke (resulting in more than 400 deaths) now the ancient wisdom: romans were already established in this city and had the same water problem ... but they knew this river wasn't suited for it so they got the water from another more suitable location ...
@@KaosKrusher Yeah but we (french) are better than romans ... (thing i heard sometime ... forgot what city had an old roman bridge, the city did another lower and when flooded, only the roman one resisted) Just for the joke, nuclear powerplants need water, did you know the protections are calculated on the average flood and not the maximum measured? xD
8:30 that's beautiful.

That guy swears by the hurricane joists. He said there were a few more places he needed to put them. Awesome
great ideas for those who live near rivers & oceans. the fire proofing looks like alot of work. (not easy to install on a steep roof) Overall loved the video! Definitely safety measures to think about in mother natures paths!!!
It's really good to have home owners tearing their pockets to save their properties and loved ones. If your thought out ideas come to fruition, those calling you crazy, they're done for. And if your house isn't saved, well, you still have insurance... 😔😔

So much so that my store and a gas station across the street were the only stores people in the area could get to. It was stressful and worrisome because I was afraid of what could happen to my baby whilst I was stuck at work.
The eye of the storm is very beautiful as a design, the only reason that caused a reaction I can imagine us that it probably stands out and disturbs the image of the neighborhood. But as a building I find it very cute

The third house... The eye of storm is actually derived from a once famous Japanese architect who designed houses to be ergonomically correct. The home owner you saw designing his house was his own design, but based on the Japanese architect's idea. Strictly speaking what is the only insect that can survive any disaster thrown at it? A cockroach. The house design is built just like an exoskeleton, both on the outside and the inside. If one was to puncture a cockroach with a thick needle the cockroach would explode because of the enormous pressure its body builds. Which is why people who have either stepped on one or pounded on one with their fist, thinks they're dead until they start to move. The house is based off a cockroach's body both internally and externally. Although the house doesn't look like an insect, its inner structure and outer structure works like one. It's protected against wind power, water power, earth movement, hurricanes, fires, tornadoes,. and typhoons, which all have the same effect. To destroy. Yet a cockroach can survive in the most extreme conditions thrown at it and can still live. Ironically, the first house of that kind that was built was also tested underwater in Japan of fifty feet above the roof. A diver using an oxygen tank dove in to capture people including the designer inside waving at him from a window. It is by far the most efficient house design on the planet using very little material, almost no wood and no toxic chemicals. And its cheaper to build per square foot rather than a default house made of both wood and brick that's square. A wise man once said, that anything square cannot stand. And he was right. Four corners puts an extreme amount of atmosphere pressure to every wall of a home, yet it still sinks over time. The eye of the storm, doesn't sink or move or shift even during a tectonic movement. A house like that costs around sixty one dollars a square foot to build. A default square home of wood is about ninety seven dollars a square foot. And it can be destroyed in seconds in a hurricane. I know where my next house is coming from.
This is possibly more interesting than the video itself so thanks for sharing this insight.
Is there a paragraph somewhere?
That Japanese architect is a millionaire
Wow very interesting details. Thanks for sharing. It is a shame that this design hasn't become mainstream as it certainly makes sense.
@@lahawk2931 DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M THAT JAPANESE ARCHITECT!
Such an interesting engineering! People can do marvelous things!
11:44 How to survive a hurricane: Option 1: build a bloody strong, well designed house. Option 2: build your house behind a well designed and built house. I bet those neighbours are grateful!
See Randy smart and a leader not a follower took a gamble... Do you boo Randy you do you boo! Bet he still prayed for his neighbors to be ok. This is a true soul with a golden heart! You go Randy! Hats off to you! We need more Randy’s in the world 🌎
The Eye of the Storm actually is looking cool and unique.
A brilliant resilient home indeed. I'd be in like Flynn.
I love The Round House⛺ I think it looks better than the box houses!👍🏼😁🎀
This is basically “Laugh now, cry later.”
I prefer cry now laugh later
Like don’t change the comment it’s just a jke
That air dome house looks like something straight out of Star Trek / Star Wars.
I love it! I wouldn't mind having one like that.
If should be mandatory for houses too be built to make we then last as long as possible. Not how they are built now.
Or Dragon Ball Z
I have seen that before, there are plenty of videos right here on KZhead
Monolithic dome homes

Ancient problems: fight fire with fire 🔥 Modern solutions: fight water with water 💦
Lol
Lmao
Amazing video. The lift house is incredible. Not sure how they calculated the weight capability but they got it right. Wow
The Bamboo house the rises in the flood is AMAZING... they should make more of them
Those water dams have been around for a LONG time. Pretty cool things. They also have better dams that don’t even require water. It’s a specially shaped sorta “ramp” that uses the floods own water pressure to hold the dams in place. There are cool videos on KZhead of people putting them up in fast moving streams and they instantly work.
Aquadam has been around for 1980 to be exact
The same concept can be used on land near bodies of water to prevent or even reduce the chances of huge and strong water waves from causing floods.
Cool
During the Mississippi flood of 1993 a farmer (Shorty Hutson) saved his house and outbuildings in similar fashion. His place was east of Niota, Illinois and a stones throw from the river. He had built earthen dam covered with plastic and sand bags. He with help from family and friends kept the water at bay.
I was Randy's other neighbor. We actually used to smoke a lot of weed and call him crazy all the time. Then our house and weed got washed away and I had to quit smoking when my wife left me. But yeah we laughed at him and called him crazy all the time. It was like a ritual.
This pile-on of Randy’s “neighbors” is getting hilarious. He must have had thousands of neighbors, suggesting that he was surrounded by either high-rises or else halfway houses with a high turnover. But anyway, look at the bright side: the weed may have been washed away but now you have plenty of water to grow more 😊
I feel like most of these probably didn’t get laughed at because everyone knew something was coming and was also trying to prepare...
*Wow, huge shoutout to the Texan who did an amazing job saving his property from flood damage. I bet that his neighbors never laughed at his solutions again.*
