We had a nasty storm series last winter that had sustained 70MPH winds, with gusts of 100+. I cannot imagine what a class 5 hurricane is like. We lost thousands of acres of trees, and a few homes.

All I can say is that I pray harder now than before. And that’s wrong, but I know that too.

at 200 mph, nothing stands.

About the only things that can survive are completely underground shelters, or shelters above ground built of solid concrete, with earth walls built up at no more than 20 degree angle with grass well embedded into dirt..

or of course, a nuc sub 150 feet below it. Quiet as a church.
