Tornado resistant house

Abstract

A tornado resistant structure which includes a base and a building structure positioned on the base, The building structure includes a plurality of deflection walls and reinforced corners and a plurality of skylights carried on a roof of the building structure, wherein each skylight includes a tapered sidewall. The building structure includes an entrance and a drain positioned proximate to the entrance.

1 . A tornado resistant structure, comprising:
 a base;   a building structure positioned on the base, wherein the building structure includes a plurality of deflection walls and reinforced corners; and   a plurality of skylights carried on a roof of the building structure, wherein each skylight includes a tapered sidewall.   
   
   
       2 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the building structure includes an entrance and a drain positioned proximate to the entrance. 
   
   
       3 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the building structure is below ground. 
   
   
       4 . The structure of  claim 1 , further including a plurality of posts positioned proximate to the outer perimeter of a roof of the building structure. 
   
   
       5 . The structure of  claim 1 , further including a light emitting element positioned within the deflection wall. 
   
   
       6 . The structure of  claim 5 , wherein the deflection wall includes a channel positioned to receive light from the light emitting element. 
   
   
       7 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the building structure includes a plurality of rooms, wherein each room is in optical communication with a skylight. 
   
   
       8 . A tornado resistant structure, comprising:
 a base;   a building structure positioned on the base, wherein the building structure includes
 a plurality of angled deflection walls; 
 a reinforced corner positioned between each adjacent deflection wall; 
 a front entrance extending through one of the deflection walls; 
 a first drain positioned to receive water flowing through the front entrance; and 
   a skylight carried on a roof of the building structure, wherein each skylight includes a tapered sidewall.   
   
   
       9 . The structure of  claim 8 , wherein the deflection walls each include an interior wall and an angled outer wall. 
   
   
       10 . The structure of  claim 9 , further including a light emitting element positioned between the interior wall and angled outer wall. 
   
   
       11 . The structure of  claim 10 , wherein the interior wall includes a channel for receiving light from the light emitting element. 
   
   
       12 . The structure of  claim 9 , wherein a portion of the interior wall is positioned below ground. 
   
   
       13 . The structure of  claim 12 , wherein the angled outer wall is not positioned below ground. 
   
   
       14 . The structure of  claim 8 , wherein the building structure includes a back entrance and a second drain to receive water flowing through the back entrance.
