The local yurt builder lives in a stick built house as well as a yurt, Terracore, and has a wonderful yurt office/showroom on the highway. I'll never understand why people think there is some rule that a person who loves yurts can't love other structures as well and live in whatever the heck they decide to live in. But thanks for that snark.
To answer the great question about winds: Out yurts are rated for up to 120 mph. In hurricane Iselle we didn't have any problems in over 200 of our yurts on island at the time. The editor of Ke Ola Magazine was living in one of our yurts and was wrapping up that month's issue when Iselle hit. She was so impressed with how it handled that she wrote about in her letter from the editor that issue. To quote her exactly, "I'm here to say, YURTS WORK!". They surely do <3
