Wow that's the 1/12 of the roof? I guess you have to be there to see how big it is.

The thing that made the 1900 hurricane so devastating was the dike of refuse (blown down structures) that literally moved like a bulldozer clearing everything in it's path. It was the surge and trash in the surge that was deadly. Without that you basically get the crap scared out of you but you survive.

Actually, what the reporter said was the roof is like a 12 slice pie and that it was one slice that had the holes.

Probably a woman who did the estimating. Bad at measurements....
