Hey there, Invest 94-L.

Goddamn it.

Is too late to suggest to invest in hand crank energy generators and disaster proof emergency stashes? Personally I carve a safe inside solid granite, fill the mold with cement and make it sure that it's fire, water and explosion proof and keep in non perishables, hand crank hand ham radio and short wave phone, tent, fire starting kite the works in absence of solid bedrock using shitton of cement is enough to make sure that typhoon can't tear off the ground.

Looks like this retard is trying to cancel a bunch of dudes wanting to protect their community from outsiders.

As an aside to the abject horror of this storm, following this thread and watching Scuffed Realtor got me wanting to redpill Americans on the best anti-cyclone/hurricane house design, the Queenslander.
It may look downright silly to have your house 8-10 feet in the air, but it means that when cyclone season comes round the wind just blows around it and the water flows under it. You can genuinely shelter in place through a cat 5 in one of these bad boys, just pull everything upstairs and chill. Once the storm passes you can sit on the veranda, smoke grass and watch snakes swim in the floodwater.
The airflow under the house also keeps it cooler in summer and usually means you get a big space to use like a garage without having to build one. The downside being it needs to be re-stumped (have its stilts replaced) every couple decades, which might cost 20 grand. Better than having a flooded house though imo.
If something like this exists elsewhere I'd be interested to know since I haven't seen it.

Southern homes traditionally used to be built elevated, but in fifties or sixties people started building the up north style brick homes, a trend that continues with modern mcmansions, and is fucking gross. There's mold at the base of a wall outside, there's mold inside the wall as well. I guess they associate the elevated building with trailers and old things in general.

Probably because not every home is situated in a flood-prone area and that style of housing is particularly susceptible to wind (including tornadic) damage.

Granted, even a brick home can't stand against certain extremes when it comes to wind damage, but they generally hold up a hell of a lot better than the examples you're giving. Solid, sturdy foundation is preferable to anything elevated like such.

The Cat 4, unnamed 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston, TX destroyed some elevated homes. It wasn’t the water that they were concerned about.

I’m editing this so as to not double post; Giovanny Aldama Garcia’s arrest record has been released (the dog ditcher). It appears that his family is renting out this house. There’s at least 5-7 living there, including who I presume to be his father (the Giovanny listed here), and who I know for sure to be his mother, Mabel, even though she isn’t married according to the arrest report, and she doesn’t share a last name with the older Giovanny, on top of her possibly maiden name that she uses now. The older Giovanny is lived in Chicago, and the younger one was born in 2001. So it seems like the younger one may have been born in America. However, the youngest one also doesn’t have “junior” show up in his arrest records, so I’m not quite sure what’s going on there. I didn’t really get anything for the younger one on Fast People Search. His mother Mabel was driving the car when she pulled over so that he could get rid of the dog. Also, plz excuse my doxing skills, this is literally my second attempt at this.

Even though disney was not wrecked the apocalyptic sounding winds howling while people were in the hotels actually being recorded is some cool shit. Also the staff here seem a little less shitty than the higher ups because they made shit free for people who got stuck there in the storm which is a nice thing to hear about if true. The potential of what could have happened is very well shown by the damage that DID occur, though.

The mickey flag being the only flag that got destroyed in that last bit of info the guy showed is like some straight up anime symbolism shit.

That’s not anime frien, that’s God.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the main failure mode in buildings in Hurricane and Tornado zones interior / exterior pressure differentials. It's not something I am used to working with so pardon any ignorance in this regard but other than shear mass an density one of the ways a building can physically survive (may need some work doing to it but i mean the core of the building) opening the doors and windows (an removing the latter if possible) and allowing the wind to blow through and deal with the possible flooding etc another way or afterwards.

No, the problem is when the windows break and the wind rushes in more or less destroying the house from the inside out. Second pic are reinforced window shutters meant to resist those winds. Of course having a house that is more than just siding nailed to an OSB board nailed to a wood frame with drywall on the other side also helps.

As I recall, that's also how and why they busted the old wives' tale about opening up every window in your home to protect against potential tornado damage.

Thank you, as I have said I don't do that kind of design or work with those designs it is just not something I've had to work with before.

I know this is unrelated here, but jesus fucking CHRIST this house is ugly ASFUCK. I mean, there's a random "tower" in the back, and he front is 3/4th garage, the yard is literally only grass, no fense whatsofuckingever. Are your design tastes so bad, americans? Really? Go to ANY eastern european village and you'll see houses that are a lot more interesting than this. With yards and gardens that aren't just blank grass.

That's almost certainly new(ish) construction. The ties on the trees and the general design give that away. That house is almost definitely in a Home Owner's Association (HOA). Most of the newer communities only allows fences in back, nothing in the front. They also dictate what you can and can't plant as well as a million other things. Plus, you pay them monthly for the privilege.

Well that's one more reason for me to personally hate america, (Not that i don't already, but y'know, might aswell add that to the list)

I don't want to powerlevel too much but we're adopting a dog displaced by Milton. I know the dog will need to get used to leaves on the ground because we don't have any venomous snakes here, and of course used to snow! But is there anything else we need to consider about a dog coming from Florida to Nova Scotia? I want to give him the best forever home that's possible, all things considered.
