Hurricane Proof home, is there anything worth this name?

>> No.1517149

Yes - it contains the word "hurricane".

If you want to sell it, say it's "completely weatherproof". People don't like thinking about disasters.

I shall answer this story by way of analogy.

There were a pair of skyscrapers in Japan.
They were built tall and strong, and it was claimed that no earthquake, ho hurricane, no tidal wave could destroy them.
Then one day there was an earthquake. The earthquake caused a tidal wave. The tidal wave lifted a cruise ship to fifty stories up, and slammed it through the middle of both skyscrapers, where the cruise ship came to rest, suspended in the air by the damaged towers.
The towers began to rust from the inside, and the cruise ship then fell, shredding each floor of the towers until they themselves fell.

Do not taunt mother nature. She is far more inventive, cruel, and powerful than you are.
I bet this home gets sucked into a 300-foot sinkhole and covered with mud next time there's a hurricane.

Yeah I'm sure 'mother nature' 'actually did' all that on purpose because Japan had the gall to safety proof their buildings.

What's with all this grass in the picture?
Isn't that house built on what is essentially a sand bar?
