      There are building codes for that shit. Also you can make it so your windows don’t break. Of course there is a limit to anything, but cat 1 and 2 should not damage a building built to the appropriate code.

    2. the house still standing made me believe that‘s fake

      /s because so many stupid people on here

    3. Its weird how all the houses are built out of wood where they have all of the hurricanes and tornados.

      Why do americans build their houses with wood and planks? Why not more brick houses?

      Pray for those in the danger zone, its tought down there not only is another hurricane coming but theres also a lack of basic supplies and all exit routes are full of people trying to leave…

      And then theres the looters who, in this horrible situation, take advantage of vulnerable people that have already lost alot

    6. I have never understood why the USA builds such poor housing against such strong storms. Houses in Europe are made of stone,concrete and steel…..

    7. How do you think he kept so calm during such a storm? Hope the people and their puppies were safe

    8. The maximum the scale goes is CAT 5 but if the scale were to be extended Milton would be classed as a CAT 7. It’s currently the 5th strongest hurricane on record.

      Edit: 4th strongest

    9. This is why you build with concrete in heavy hurricane alleys.
      Was in Japan for a couple years, weathered a couple dozen hurricanes without so much as a cracked window.

    10. The main reason you board up your windows is not only to protect the windows from getting shattered, but to prevent wind from entering an opening and essentially lifting the roof off of the house.

      Houses in hurricane areas are required to be overbuilt to withstand most hurricanes. Even down to the shingles on the roof which requires 6 nails per shingle instead of the standard 4 nails.

    11. Him being still in one piece during all of this, is the most r/interestingasfuck part of this clip

      Ryan Hall was right. We need to update the rating system to include storm surge.

      Wind is one thing. It’s going to destroy some shit. Storm surge is a whole other animal. That’s going to destroy everything.

    13. Why is he just standing in the middle of a hurricane?! Doesn’t he know he could get hurt!?

    14. I’m not even worried about anything up to high 3. Cat4, I’ll consider leaving based on my area but will likely stay, just grabbing an extra 24pk. Cat5, I’ll see if some friends wanna find some surf just outside the path and chill for a week

      That’s Florida living for ya

    15. Remember, If there’s a hurricane,
      Tell someone to grab a camera and start recording.

      The cameraman/crew never die /s

    16. He forgot about category six, The said ongoing storm of people wishing others die in the storm because they disagree with them politically…..
