The problem is almost never that the wind it blowing, its what the wind is blowing.
In this case, I expect it's going to be blowing those ratchet straps after they become unanchored, turning them into whips that'll cleave the roof in half.
The description for the picture says they are connected to big burried concrete blocks, so likely the house is gone before these straps get loose.
unanchored
whips
schrodingers whip. How is it both unanchored and a whip at the same time.
Two anchor points per strap.
if one of them goes, the other is pretty likely to go as well. Unless you just didn't secure it properly, in which case skill issue.
Hurricanes rip poorly built roofs off all the time. Builders get lazy and install the hurricane anchor things wrong. At least the local home inspector on Reddit used to say
I trust reddit posts too.
i would trust that redditor seeing how homes are often built lmao
That particular redditor had a long history of weekly posts with the shitty home builder work they inspected, but I hear the argument, I have no evidence other than hearsay and didn't research it myself.
Ron White, is that you!?
