Terrible event. As someone who has been into the devastation of an F5 and done rescue and recovery I don’t wish this on anyone. You will never be the same after surviving it, working in it or experiencing it first hand.
Any hole will do. Remember this. If you can keep your head above water then get in. Debris kills and maims. Block yourself the best you can. Helmets, body armor are to be used. You got that tacticool stuff then on your loved ones it goes first. Kids bike helmets will save a life.
As far as preparedness purposes there is something that’s coming up in this administrations briefings about it being climate change. There is something to it. Politics aside. The jet stream has shifted some. No one ever said the climate would stay the same forever. If they did they were dumb. The climate has constantly changed throughout history.
So what does that mean to you. It means have preparations for things outside the norm. Winter tornadoes, south Texas ice storm, desert flooding etc. Not every event is climate change. Sometimes bad stuff just happens. Doesn’t change the need to have and implement a plan. Stay Safe

What I dont get is in disaster prone areas why when they rebuild do they not build to a standard that can resist such things. An organic smooth shaped house has way less wind drag than standard cube home and cost just as much to build or less. A geodesic dome can withstand all but a direct hit.
Same goes with flooding and shelter islands for hurricane you can build very resistant housing… they just dont wtf?
We have wild fire and snow you build to accommodate that. We dont use wood on outside or for framing it’s all steel, fire resistant foam insulation r 60 walls and ceiling, 12/12 roof so the snow comes off fast.

I can help ya with that. Number one is cost. Number two is no one builds them here. Third insurance is way too high above the cost of a normal home so much so that it negates the benefits.
In the 80s they got big in the city. Decades later none of them are standing. Not one. They were trash. Bulletproof glass and steel doors on a structure that didn’t last.
Houses are built to code here but at the end of the day anything above 90mph is gonna damage your home.

Like I said we’ve got a shift
Hawaii had snow and now Egypt
Dunno that’s it’s permanent but it’s certainly interesting
