Mega storms are the real bad ones, but I've noticed that in USA you build houses that can't withstand small winds, here when we build a house, the large storms doesn't do any damage if the trees doesn't fall on the roofs. Tree fall that happen in my area. One guy was cutting a tree down and smash his roof. Another did it but it fell onto his truck. Instead of helping mostly everyone watching started to laugh. |

Its really situational. It would really be moronic for Florida architectures to NOT hurrican proof their houses lol |

Oh yeah. Shingles and support beams are what matters the most in southern USA. I was stuck in Florida during Matthew. Not. Fun. |

It weakened to a category 4 hurricane. It still is a very powerful storm but maybe slightly less devastating than before.

My cousin and her baby was able to evacuate this week from Florida to Buffalo. She's living with my aunt (her mother) and her sister. Glad she's safe, but worried about her home because she lives in Miami which is going to be right in the path.
To lighten the mood though and to invoke some patriotism, here is a great quote from Thomas Paine's Common Sense:
"There is something absurd in supposing a continent to be perpetually governed by an island"

Let's just hope these storms stop forming, they have been going at it for awhile. Or at least go die In the atlantic.

Irma making landfall in Cuba as we speak. Weather trackers are going crazy trying to figure out if it's going to cover all of the island or just half of it.

Just to put this hurricane in perspective, category 2 winds are capable of flinging debris and damaging your house. Category 3 can rip pieces of your house off and tear shingles off of your roof. Your door can also fly off.
Category 4 is when trees start breaking, patches of your house start flying off, your door is probably long gone.
Category 5, most trees are gone. Most windows are gone. The walls of your house start to sag because there is no roof to hold them up. It's a nightmare.

Mountbatten , you need fortifications for this, sheltered bunkers will do!  Ivan Kolev , all empires eventually fold. One quarter of the entire world was under British dominion at its peak but yeah nothing last forever, their party is over 🎤🎸🎷

Apple pie, on of the oldest pies on earth. With he first recipes dating back from the 1300th it's still as popular as back then. Still the most eaten pie in Western Europe and North America and one of the most iconic desserts from Brittain, absolutely delicious. That's a fun, random fact... I'm still not used to this thread... |
