Since it's tornado season in the Midwestern US, I figured we should make sure the dome is secure! Last week we put in half the rebar anchors and most of the reinforcing plates, and this weekend we got all but two of the outer plates done. We also did some of the inner ones and drove in twice as much rebar. Hopefully the thing is now secure against normal thunderstorms! It probably still wouldn't stand up to a tornado, but we'll just hope that doesn't happen!
