Louisiana is usually the poorest or second poorest state in the U. S. and like I said most people can't afford a Katrina code house. So how is anyoen supposed to afford an EF5 resistant house to not get their house blown to bits by th etornado like last night?
They gave that a "preliminary" rating of EF3, but I swear if I understand the metrics its' really a 160 sustained with a 205mph gust, which is EF5. Hell if I know how you're supposed to rate anything any stronger than that anyway.
IN Super-typhoon Haiyan which hit the philippines, a 12 inch parking garage panel was destroyed by wind damage, which I calculated was 195mph SUSTAINED with a 255mph gust, so basically even if you made a concrete house it's not guaranteed to survive a tornado or even a max hurricane either. There's just nothing you can do about it except pray and hope it doesn't happen to you.
