Fig 2.5 — During the 2007-2008 winter, Caledonia, Missouri experienced ice and wind storms that covered their area with two to three inches of ice and left people without power for up to two weeks. Superintendent Steve Yount said that the domes were unaffected by the cold, and, although they were without power, the domes retained their heat, so people spent their days warming up in the Monolithic Domes. The community wants their domes certified by the Red Cross as a designated disaster shelter and is looking into grants that would finance a generator.
