The problem is almost never that the wind it blowing, its what the wind is blowing.
In this case, I expect it’s going to be blowing those ratchet straps after they become unanchored, turning them into whips that’ll cleave the roof in half.
The description for the picture says they are connected to big burried concrete blocks, so likely the house is gone before these straps get loose.
unanchored
whips
schrodingers whip. How is it both unanchored and a whip at the same time.
Hurricanes rip poorly built roofs off all the time. Builders get lazy and install the hurricane anchor things wrong. At least the local home inspector on Reddit used to say
I wonder what the vibration frequency of those straps is, once the wind is blowing through them.
Will they vibrate the roof into mush before they pull out of the ground and become metal ended whips?
As someone who straps, I felt this in my soul. God I hate that noise(I use tarp clamps for dampeners).
Gotta be careful though, twist in the strap can ruin the strength limit of the strap if it’s under load
Edit: others have pointed out it’s for cargo straps specifically. I guess I was thinking of more knotting than twists. Either way, just follow the instructions.
That ain’t going anywhere.
until the ground it’s anchored to is converted into grassy diarrhea by the flooding
I saw the documentary once. The order is Tree, Cow, Tractor, and finally another House.
As long as someone is shredding death metal guitar on the roof throughout the storm, I approve.
slaps tightened straps “That’s not going anywhere”
