That's very funny. I needed that this morning. Thanks!
I had always wondered why folks in Hurricane prone areas didn't build thier homes with truly sturdy stuff, maybe concrete or the like. I see these piles of rubble consisting of stick-frame 2x4 construction with drywall. Maybe something different would work?
In the far north, we lived in a place that could get 200km/h (125mph) winds in the winter, and all the houses had huge steel cables as tie downs with anchors driven into the permafrost and lexan windows.
