Does Ohio typically get serious tornados? I thought it was pretty well North. Anyways it was good that there were no physical injuries in the family.

I have no love for regulation enforcements. At the same time roof structures are still poorly attached to dwellings. If I think a roof is to be exposed to some serious wind exposure even here. Where we have no tornados. Just the occasional tail end of hurricanes usually.

I actually bolt the trusses on. It takes little time and cost. Yet if the roof goes the wall has to as well. Wood framed structures are just not strong enough in general to cope with real tornados though at the same time.

From what I have observed over the years. The tract builders in Florida. A known hurricane area. Have been building far too thin for the region. The carnage after one goes through is all too obvious.
