How to build stronger homes to withstand a hurricane 

Like everything else-expensive but they cut corners or cheap quality. Now that I’m older, this really is our country🤣 they and their loved ones can go straight to HELL.

It depends on the state. Maybe live where you can afford a house.

@@RealMTBAddict so that’s the average price of the American home but with your logic everyone who makes under 100k need to move to Wyoming in the middle of nowhere

@@Djreactions831 Average doesn't mean that's the lowest you'll find. I just bought a house for $280k in a city where the average is $450k. So you have to look. 👍

Theres a couple reasons why.Houses r expensive due to high demand of houses and low supply.Second they are built out of wood because its cheaper and more fast to build.A pallet of brick (500 bricks)Is like 1k and takes longer.Third the US has a High supply of wood

You forgot rock and metal roofs

I was just about to comment that they need to stop building these house out of paper

Do not forget rebar

No, just steel

Need steel with concrete

Yes. I live in Miami and every home in south Florida is built with rebar , concrete block and poured concrete.

​@@hyp1755 And that's what collegiate sports stadiums use to protect itself from hurricanes or tornadoes.

Im from asia and im really asking the usa why they build so weak and they have tornadoes and hurricanes much like in tropical asia.

🤯🤯🤯🤯

Exactly!!!

And the HOA has proved to be a HOAX😮

It's all designed to make sure that companies who makes all of those resources for you to build your home to make sure that you keep buying and buying so that they make more money. Same way with vehicles. Vehicles used to protect the driver and the others inside of the vehicle with hard steel that can save many lives. Now, it's all about money more than a person's safety.

S​feel cars actually caused more death @@RowdyJr

I know like brick rock and concrete are best at protection and not falling over. Hell the fact people still use asphalt roofs in such places is stupid like use a metal roof bolt it down. The worst part is we constantly complain about co2 levels forest gone not having enough lumber for homes and yet in places that destroy wood homes every year they continue using wood like wtf stupidity is what that is.

GREED

​@@RowdyJryou are so absolutely certain about being wrong. mostly about vehicles. And physics, apparently.

I like that 3 step formula 😂

Only because there were no bracing bars inside

America is all about money and doesn't care about lives

Bc it will get too hot

​@@nicksalgado22what does that mean? Florida is largely concrete and masonry construction.

"Hurricane Maria was an extremely powerful and deadly Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that devastated the northeastern Caribbean in September 2017, particularly in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, which accounted for 2,975 of the 3,059 deaths" Excuse me?

@@Skippy0330 Puerto Rico is a good example of NOT hurricane ready

Bingo! Reinforced concrete with new mix-in's help a lot... Hence why those tacky Billionaire Row towers in Manhattan are even technically possible..

Have you been to Florida? My house has been been is the eye of two hurricanes, hit by multiple, and gone through 2 cat 4's. Same wood roof 22 years later. No leaks related to storms.

Tbf it does have a life of like 25 years, but it's been alright

The reason is likely enormous cost for a single detached home to go that route. But there is a way one can get reinforced concrete construction without costing an arm & a leg: just buy a unit in a high-rise condo! Seriously, I'd get a condo unit if I really had to live a hurricane prone area. This gives greatest chance of protecting life and property. High rise buildings are indeed made of steel and reinforced concrete since you can benefit from economies of scale and such large buildings need that strength anyways. The height will save your property from storm surge. Unfortunately, Americans are too hung up on single detached homes which are bad for the environment and contribute to urban sprawl. Detached homes also use up a lot of energy because of high surface area. We can see detached homes are very prone to being ripped up by hurricanes and tornadoes. As extreme weather continues to ramp up over the next few decades, single detached homes in these areas will be uninsurable for 95+% of people shortly. Urban life in such areas will be forced into condos. Look at places like Asia where condo living is the standard, and that may be arriving to US en mass within the span of the next 30 to 50 years. You have to adapt or die.

​​@@beyondfossilcondo's are the last place I'd want to be lol. Mostly in flood zones, built on swamp and sand, and most of them are hitting their service life. A good portion still built pre-90's hurricane codes EDiT: only applicable in Florida lol

Most houses in Florida after Andrew are. Get educated.

Well maybe bc the US has alot of trees 🤔.Its also cheaper to use wood,Bricks and cement and concrete Would be more expensive and also it takes longer to

Yeah glue should do it since wooden nails doesn't

Where you gonna live? Try living in areas that are ABOVE 15' above MSL. Then try living in buildings that are BEYOND tree fell range. And there's only two states that are NOT in an earthquake zone and one of those is Florida (the other one is South Dakota). A lotta states West of the Mississippi are also prone to wildfires. And the mid section of the country is tornado alley. You may wanna try living on a sailboat (and get atta dodge when a nasty spinner is approaching). Or maybe living in an RV. You could also live underground I knew someone years ago that did that. This was in Fort Lauderdale.

@@leecowell8165 Are you joking? if houses can not withstand hurricanes wind and flooding, how to live on a sailboat on the ocean around sharks😜, or in a trailer plastic, this is the worst thing you advised me😀, its safer to live in the mountains or in states where there are no hurricanes like in Florida or other southern states.

@@k172134 ever heard of Hurricane Sandy

In freaking so called third world countries, when there is an earthquake or other major natural disaster, MANY more people die. If you think it's so much better, why aren't they doing better? "I punch a hole in the wall", you can repair it, and have no broken wrist. And you think breaking your wrist is better? Dude, your reasoning is beyond broken. You're like the boomers who thought the steel deathtraps they drove were better because occupants died instead of the car flying apart

Jesus was an Arab that probably beat up on females. You may wanna try choosing somebody else to play the Deity card. How do you know if the guy was even born were you or somebody else around to record all this? Hell I sometimes can't even believe something I've personally witnessed much less hearsay from two millennia ago!

So much for “American quality”

Sure, show me in Europe where you get constant earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters. Show me a place in Europe that's not the size of a cell attached to another cell with zero yards. Pretty sure we all left Europe for a reason bud.
