FLORIDA MAN Straps Entire House Down Ahead of Hurricane Milton

Don't see what much that's going to do against a storm surge or hurricane-spawned tornados or two-by-fours flying at 150mph like missiles.

Won't even be effective against the storm surge. Ground gets soft when wet.

Only one set of straps would work. Because it's in concrete.

@DeWayfarer In the video his daughter said all the straps are all buried in 8 feet of concrete with rods in between.

Do you have any idea of what 8' of concrete entail?

I don't believe you do.

@Vin53 would have had to been prepared years if not over a decade ago. That grass looks very random in consistency. Definitely not new.

Those long metal rods would be rusted if not completely degraded in wet soil.

@Jimmy2016 does it matter when none of us gets notifications? 🤷🏻‍♂

@Jimmy2016 Listen Jimmy, if you're a commercial contractor for house construction in FL there is absolutely no scenario where you're going to lay 8' ft of concrete.
I'm sorry, you're just wrong and not very bright.

@DeWayfarer Are you a forum moderator?

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@Jimmy2016 not this forum. Yet I am of five others! They are listed on my profile.

Jimmy2016 · 61-69, M

@Vin53 I don't think he used a contractor.......You should contact him for answers......I'm just going by what the video said Geeez no reason to insult me, but I guess that is just the type of person you are..............

Jimmy2016 · 61-69, M

@DeWayfarer Ok thanks.......

@Jimmy2016 I confess, that is the kind of person I am when confronted why a Floridian would have their tiny lot dug up 10ft to have massive laid concrete installed for absolutely no other reason than God himself told him it will save humanity.
