HURRICANE PROOF BUILDINGS

Because the media fixated on the idea that the hurricane was going to
hit Tampa, despite information from the NWS and the other weather
services that Tampa was just a best guess.

That's a Gene Pool Elimination Lottery reason.

Because it is a free country, and one freedom it to take risks that
would be unacceptable to others.

Free does not mean free-for-all. The governor has the power to force people
to leave their homes and move them to safety when there is a clear and
present danger to them. He should used it.

Yep, and next thing you know your guilty of thought crimes and goose stepping

That sounds like a personal problem of which you need to speak to your
chaplain.

There's a simple solution: build HURRICANE PROOF BUILDINGS

Hurricane resistant, maybe...Hurricane Proof, never.

Unless everything around it is tied down and the wind is from the right
direction, any building is vulnerable to damage from a strong hurricane. One
of the biggest sources of damage in every hurricane is blowing debris causing
the initial damage to a building and the resulting winds finishing the work.

That must explain why every home in the neighborhood I grew up in is still
standing, -intact-, 60+ years after they were built, and several hurricanes
later, while one hurricane pretty much wiped out entire cities and
neighborhoods in a few hours in Florida. It doesn't take a genius to figure
out that when it comes to protecting people from things like hurricanes,
concrete beats wood 99% of the time.

Yep, you are right about that Juan.

No, concrete designed to withstand hurricans beats wood that wasn't so
designed. The old wood sailing ships took a lot more beating on a daily
basis than is dished out by a hurricane. And they held up rather well.
It is a matter of what loads the structure is designed for, not the
materials used in the construction.

Matt,

You are wasting your time trying to reason with Jaun, he is a self proclaimed
expert in all things and nothing will ever change his mind.

Boy you got that right ,it didn't take jaun long to start ragging on people
over material for a building. I guess a cement BD-5 will fly as good as his
perpetual BD-5 project LOL!!

Flame shorts on !!

See ya

I hate to say it, but getting a BD5 ready to fly seems to have changed his
mind, as well as leaving our country.
