Who would win: one of the most destructive natural disasters ever seen, or some strappy bois
Those anchor points are going to need to be driven really deep to do anything - the ground is already waterlogged
If you look closely you can also see his arm sticking out the window, further holding down the roof.
[pat pat] yup, she ain’t going nowhere.
Going to be interesting when the neighbour’s unstrapped house crashes into it.
I was gonna say a lot of good it’ll do when that truck flies into it, shoulda strapped that down too
… so… did it work?
probably the storm wasn’t that bad

Should have put a twist or two in the straps. Reduces flutter.
Straps need a twist to cut the harmonics. Otherwise, sane plan.
The cost of putting that in vs…
The damage to your siding, roof tiles, windows, landscaping, secondary structures, gutters, trim, etc…
You know they don’t have insurance.
Sure, they spent the time and money on 8ft deep concrete anchor points, but neglected to get insurance
I mean insurance would pay for any damage, so why bother with something like this then?
If they can keep their home I’m sure they would like to
Lots of insurers have left the Florida markets entirely, because they’re spending more paying out claims than they can take in for premiums. The ones that remain have sky-high premiums, thousands of dollars each month in some cases, because they’re pretty sure that they will have to pay out claims. The result is that many homeowners in Florida can no longer afford insurance. Since you need to have insurance on a home in order to get a mortgage, that makes buying a home in Florida really expensive, unless you can pay cash up front.
