"Excess deaths" is such a nebulously defined stat that any model can show anything is causing them. Like racism, which The Science says has supposedly killed 1.63 million people in the US in the 21st century. And read your own article, it claims the excess deaths are caused by property damage and shit which guess what, evacuating won't do much there.

"I don't like that they used Black instead of black so I'm throwing away all of their findings" okay nothing ever happens man.

We find that state-level all-cause mortality is systematically increased for the 172 months (14.3 years) following a TC (Fig. 2a). In the month of TC landfall, we estimate that monthly mortality rates increase by 0.033 (±0.012) deaths per 100,000 population per ms−1 of state-level wind speed incidence (t(23,730) = 2.78, P < 0.05).

They are likely to be caused by complex sequences of events that follow in the wake of TCs (such as economic loss37 or lack of healthcare access21) and thus differ from official counts of direct deaths that occur during the short-lived geophysical event and outnumber official direct deaths by orders of magnitude.

death caused by the circumstances created by the hurricane. If the hurricane didn't happen, they would likely still be alive is what it means.

we estimate that 66% of cumulative excess deaths occur among white individuals, compared to 34% among Black individuals

The official cause of TC-related excess deaths is almost never recorded as a TC. Examining official causes of death from the CDC Underlying Cause of Death database (Fig. 2e), we find that most TC-related excess deaths (58.9%, 2.27 ± 0.59 per 100,000 per ms−1) result from ‘other’ causes, a nonspecific category that includes diabetes, suicide, sudden infant death syndrome and other causes that are not individually recorded. Cardiovascular disease is the second largest cause of TC-related excess deaths (36.0%, 1.30 ± 0.86 per 100,000 per ms−1) and neoplasms (cancer) is third (11.6%, 0.46 ± 0.48 per 100,000 per ms−1), consistent with some evidence of stress from extreme weather affecting long-run health40. Infectious diseases, respiratory diseases and motor vehicle accidents are not linked to TCs.

diabetes and suicide is the only thing here that really could've been prevented pre or post hurricane. Stress literally fucks up your body and makes you more likely to die.

Everyone was acting like this would be some kind of apocalyptic hurricane where buildings and people get sucked into the air or some shit. Nothing happened as usual. I have personally driven in worse than what I'm seeing in these videos.

Don't evacuate a city when a Hurricane hits and we will see what you think then. People like you are always judging hurricanes by the deaths - which is why we evacuate. It is fools like you who "drive into..." these that need the saving.

Deaths in the paper have nothing to do with racism you stupid nigger.

Did you read the paper you linked? It's literally saying that if a hurricane hits your community, they can blame increased mortality on it (just like they do with racism). If you evacuate because the weather man on TV hyped you into it (protip, they do it for ratings), you still end up in the "increased mortality" risk because it wrecks your house and causes reduced investment in your community. Nothing that can be fixed by evacuating.

But hey, keep the hysteria going. It's like I'm trying to tell a white women wearing two masks that the scamdemic is overblown.

NIGGER ARE YOU DUMB. Say you have a heart attack during the hurricane due to the stress caused by the hurricane. You go to the hospital and they save you. That heart attack puts you at greater risk of dying. Your death would be considered an excess TC death. THAT is what the article is talking about.

Stress can do irreversible damage to your body and predispose you to an earlier death. THAT is what excess TC death is. I don't know how stupid you can be that you don't understand that.

Yeah a gunshot wound to my heart may not kill me immediately on the day it happened but the result of it can end up killing me earlier than if I'd never had my heart damaged by a gunshot wound, even if I still live a few years post-wound, for another comparison. The gunshot wound triggered an early death. The hurricane triggered an early death.

I'm betting most of those excess deaths were people willing themselves into an early grave so they don't have to listen to any more "hurricanes aren't dangerous bro" bullshit from terminally online fuckwits.

Didn't we see someone take a photo of this very house before the hurricane struck?
It does seem like a good idea as long as the straps can withstand the lbs of force by the nadoes and hurricane. If his home stands, maybe the florida government can push them for all houses. They can be removed at any time so won't be eyesore.

TCs are a frequent hazard for CONUS, causing damage to infrastructure, homes and businesses10,11; population relocation12; social and economic disruptions2,3,5,13; ecological changes14,15; reduced access to basic services16; increased pollution7; crop damage7; insurance payouts17; and political actions18. These and other impacts of TCs might affect human health through complex chains of events that separate the cause (cyclone) from the delayed effect (mortality) so much that affected individuals are themselves unaware that a TC influenced their own health outcome. For example, individuals may use retirement savings to repair damage, reducing future healthcare spending to compensate; family members might move away, removing critical support when something unexpected occurs years later; or public budgets may change to meet the immediate post-TC needs of a community, reducing investments that would otherwise support long-run health. Prior studies of sub-populations19 for specific events20,21 or shorter windows of time2,8,9 suggest that these and other pathways could substantially influence post-TC mortality, but the full long-term impacts of all indirect pathways for all storms across an entire population remains unknown.

So tell me how evacuating from your inland McMansion will save you from any of this. Although hey, for all I know hurricanes turned you retarded.

It sounds stupid but I imagine it can't be his only provision anyway. He probably mostly doesn't want the roof to rip off and that I'd guess.

Still the idea of straps beating a disaster like this is funny lol. Maybe the British tourists were right!

It saves you from immediate death from the hurricane. It won't save you from the misery that follows. There's nothing that can save you from excess TC death except to not live near there. Sometimes life can be a cruel mistress...

I've seen houses strapped down like this since 2018, seems to work in some cases and also might serve to prevent your house from being carried away by the flooding if it has a weak foundation!

Someone wrote about this

The edges of a roof are the most vulnerable part when it comes to wind damage. What they're doing with the straps is simply keeping the drip-edge of the roof from getting peeled up and tearing the whole layer off shingles with it. The straps are holding 2x4s or 2x6s on the drip-edges to help prevent wind from getting underneath. This is also helping strengthen the eaves against wind-lift. These measures are a physical form of insurance and not a guarantee against damage. Every little bit helps... better safe than sorry.

I'm glad that this storm didn't just camp out, and kind of blew through. Grateful everything seems (mostly) okay. But that was two bad storms in a week, and we're only halfway through the season. Please, continue to stay safe.

Sometimes the simplest ideas do work. Although if he's close to the heart of the storm idk how much they'd help. Still, how much can a system like this really cost. Probably worth it for a crap shoot anyway

Whilst I can bemoan that Disney didn't get destroyed, if no Kiwis got harmed then that's an acceptable trade

Do the homes in hurricane-prone areas have a special internal room where you can go and hide? like a glorified cupboard under the stairs, so even if the roof is ripped off, or windows blow in, the internal room will be relatively safe? I was wondering about a basement room/cellar, but then a surprise flood might drown everyone..and an upper floor room might lose it's ceiling if the roof peels off....so maybe ground floor, fully internal, no windows..?

You can always go back to Reddit if you don't like it here.

Hurricane Michael was one of the strongest hurricanes ever and hit an area with hundreds of thousands of people. Not even 100 died. Hurricane Ian was also pretty big and hit an even more populated area. Only 161 people died. Sounds like hurricanes aren't very efficient at killing people and as long as you don't live next to a body of water you're going to be safe even if you get some property damage.

Death's don't stop when the wind stops blowing. Just one death is too much. Complain too "them" if the mortality rate isn't high enough for you. Have you ever been through a natural disaster?

Houses in Florida tend to have a hurricane safe areas that are not dedicated rooms for safety. It makes sense as unless there is a tornado ripping up your house, the worst a hurricane does is pick something up to lob through your window. It is why part of hurricane prep is getting anything loose outside your house either secure, inside the house, or thrown out.

Broken glass and being exposed to the elements is bad but you don't need a storm cellar like those in the midwest do.

In my experience, if the huricane got real bad, family/friends and I would cram into the central hallway of a house that had no windows. Enough room to cram into for the day while the worst of it passes, but not very comfy to be in for more than a day.

As for basements, as Null has said, there are no basements in Florida due to Florida mostly being at sea level.
