20,000psi concrete and steel pylons just for foundation
half inch thick laminated glass (which is what my company specializes in doing) stops bullets
You should see what they're doing to rebuild the roads. It's fascinating. 20'x10' "blankets" of concrete and steel cinder blocks all woven and linked together, and then filled in with gravel, multiple layers, before pouring the pavement and concrete over
Dont want hurricans? Dont live near them. Pretty simple concept
@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL how did they stand so long if Florida keeps having hurricanes?
Avoiding natural disasters can be tricky. Oklahoma did not used to be an earthquake state. Now, as a side effect of fracking, we have earthquales. OK buildings are built for wind/heat/storms/occasional cold but are quite unsuited for shaking ground.
I remember a while ago people were talking about how Washington is way overdue for a FAT earthquake
that would literally destroy everything west of I-5
I just finished watching the Utah video. Outstanding work. Everyone.
The concept; the physicality of getting to the (visually) "epic" spots; the execution; the speech; the camera work; the post-production... all of it GREAT!
I know it's too soon, but I bet there must be a good gag reel in there somewhere. A dozen intrepid men scaling a snowy hill?? There had to be some falls! 😂
@Jacob “keeps having hurricanes” is extremely subjective. The last cat 5 for FL before Michael was Andrew, early 90’s, and it hit the entire opposite side of the state. Florida is a big state.
Sure, Florida “keeps having hurricanes”, but intensity and location varies tremendously.
Even accounting for the decadal and inter-decadal cycles hurricanes are pretty random and hard to predict (because of that).
And yeah they haven't had a "worst one" (Cat 5) in a relatively long time.
We actually believe Hurricane Michael was well into Cat 5 territory, because our wind measuring instruments broke right after it hit 155 mph winds, before the hurricane even touched land
Oh wow.
It's pretty bad my man, we're doing much better than we were in October, but **I heard** that something like our forestry is 95% gone? Bretty insane.
But now we don't have to spend nearly as much money on land development <:usinnoodle:420778112226164736> Ty michael
Sure is a cold morning in Utah
I’m driving up the canyon and the temperature keeps dropping
@The Eternal Anglo There's also other shady forces at work that kept the NOAA from declaring Michael a Cat 5 at landfall.
Federal law prohibits insurance companies from collecting deductibles on insurance claims for property damaged by Cat 5 hurricanes. When Andrew hit, it was a massive toll on the insurance industry due to that.
So, the theory everyone is juggling...from homeowners, to contractors, subs, everyone...including people that worked through Andrew, too, is NOAA got pressured by insurance giants.
corrupt af if true, but nobody would ever really be able to prove it. the destruction is just too big, wide, and varying
“Race: not reported”
I've heard somebody talk about that, that's pretty cheeky and sneaky if that's true. Our city has all sorts of those problems to be honest, from old people on the roads to insurance giants
Ya I don't know if it is or not. Most of the homeowners we've done work for are saying it, and apparently their attorneys are suggesting it to them when having to fight their insurance companies
@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL How do you prepare a building for 160 mph winds, 20 foot waves, and forces that can rip tress out of the ground
Wrap it in plastic wrap
No matter what the conservatives say, you are part of a collective. Embrace your identity, let’s align ourselves in the face of ever growing hatred. Have a great day evropeans
"Group of individuals" is like when the glat Earth Society said they have "members around the world"
Mornin fellow whites
good morning:-)
The sticker on the back of this car is pretty sad
Left side
Cant tell
It's one of those stick figure family stickers, but it's just a single woman with Disney mouse ears
Look who got the range rover in the divorce
Shoulda hit her with the prenup
Yikes
A good prenup is always worth the money
Its usually ignored
I doubt anyone who's that gay for Disney could find a husband in the first place
