Okay, I admit I didn't know that. But even surviving a direct hit from Andrew, knowing that wouldn't have changed a thing. It's not an important fact to know.
It was done by Mason-Dixon so it was a real poll, but it did seem to have a fair number of non-obvious questions...the garage door one is a toughy; it was obviously designed to produce a result for those who contracted for it.
Still, there's obviously a lot of ignorance. To me the big problem is the Saffir-Simpson scale (1-5) "backfiring;" I CONSTANTLY see people interviewed when a hurricane is approaching with that base their evacuation decision on what Category the storm is, which is incredibly stupid; on multiple occassions storms have gone up 2 categories in a few hours right before landfall.
We butted the inside of ours with 2x4s . Don't know if it was helpful but it felt like a good thing to do:')
A garage door is NOT a structural element! It is a DOOR, which means that its opening is supported by the framing STRUCTURE of the building.
A structural element means that the edifice in question faces imminent collapse of part or all supported attachments should aforementioned part fail. Garage doors support ONLY themselves.
If losing the garage door means your house falls down, your house should never have been built!
Then again, some of the shotgun shacks I've seen.......
