Looks like it shielded the house behind it too.
Good job, Doc!
Mexico Beach just found the guy to write their new building codes.

It may have cost a pretty penny but they proved it worked. I hate government regulations but if people were made to build more than shacks, the rest of use wouldn’t be out $$$$$$ rebuilding and rebuilding and rebuilding everytime a hurricane comes through the Atlantic.
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

he forgot to ad that “we didnt build homes before Andrew like we do now”
WOW! Good for him!
He never heard of Camille?
Infuriating and 100% a LIE!
Joe Bastardi went through all of the Hurricanes in recent History (from 1930 or so, forward) and SIX of them were equal to or worse than Michael.
I hate liars.
Yeah, well, everyone thought the third little piggy was crazy to build his house out of brick, too! Who’s crazy now, huh?
Yeah, tell that to Galveston, Texas. People act like just because it did not happen to them it never happened at all. There have been far worse hurricane disasters as far back as there are records. Heck, I am pretty sure Columbus encountered a big one over 500 years ago.
Nope. He is an idiot.
‘merica...
I’d say this is the only home that isn’t a total loss.
I know someone who had a home in the center of Andrew. From the front it looked like nothing was wrong. Went inside and the walls were stripped clean of their drywall. Something punched a hole in the back wall and all the wind and rain got inside. The insurance company declared it a total loss.
Force Field ?
Nope. He is an idiot.

The real problem is the corrupt crooks at the NYTimes who quote him as if he’s an absolute authority.
It just goes to show how a well built home can withstand a storm. Even mobile homes in hurricane areas have to be built to the new code.
Building better homes is a superior strategy than forking over trillions of dollars to politicians who will do nothing but steal all of it as part of their Global Warming scam.
