It's not helping, but somehow I like the look of it.

Holy shit all this time I thought The Picard Maneuver was an entire sub and thanks to that meme earlier I see you're an actual person. Finally clued in..

Good stuff too!

Also this seems like an idea worth trying. Cheap, maybe might work? Idk. I'm not inside hurricanes ever.

Optimistic

Hold the house down into the storm surge until it learns its lesson

I love that the straps are parallel to the trusses. only thing better would be watching those straps cut through the shingles, underlayment, and sheeting like cheese once winds hit 188mph.

They should have anchored it to that Toyota truck.

I hate that my first thought is insurance will use this as a way to avoid paying out

This is extremely stupid. I was happy to see that most people here seem to immediately understand this.

Cope rope

I think this one's a joke, sure some would say it's no time for humor but I think it's funny.

I don’t know if this stupid or genius. Now I’m curious.

This is actually not a bad idea

They missed the 25-foot waterproof wall, for the actual damage, the storm surge...

Anyone claiming this is going to work has no idea how houses are constructed or how hurricanes cause damage.

Checkmate, nature.

I wonder how deep those stakes are driven lol

I love this.

Maybe build with ICF ( insulated concrete forms).

A bit like the building at the top of Mount Washington

Someone misunderstood building code for hurricane ties.
