ALL WOOD FRAMED LOW RISING APARTMENT BUILDINGS WILL BE DESTROYED. Bull****. Not at all. If the hurricane had remained a category 5 storm, overpressures of 4-5 psi could be expected. This is sufficient to destroy a timber frame building. It's about equivalent to the blast that would be felt about 2.5 miles from a 100kt nuclear explosion. Fortunately, it seems to have lost strength when it made landfall. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee"
