And the red truck too. That's how crazy unpredictable tornadoes can be.

[@brianfitch5469]

​​@@merrim7765ive been through alot of hurricanes including the eye wall landfall of katrina here in bay st louis MS with 30 ft wall of water that threw cars like bath toys. It takes more wind than that to move a big truck like that. About 140+ the wind can potentially start pushing cars 155+ it can start flipping them. Its amazing the stuff you see stuck on your roof with near 200mph wind gust around you. They lie about katrina the waves broke the local buoys at 40ft so they dont know how high the waves got. The wind gauge broke at 200mph, they down graded the storm saying it was a cat 3. Thats a straight up lie. Ive been in numerous cat 3 hurricanes.

The world was shaken by devastating and abnormal earthquakes, a huge number of red auroras in unusual places, abnormal heating of the ocean, Category 5 hurricanes, wildfires covering half the planet, rivers and lakes massively disappearing, droughts changing with large-scale floods, volcanoes becoming active. Over the last 30 years, the climate has changed catastrophically. The cause of this is the cosmic cycle of 12000 years. The same changes are happening now on all planets of the solar system. From the end of 2024, the number and scale of natural disasters will increase many times over. And if we do nothing now, it will be impossible to live on the planet in 5-7 years.

@@pageroo9644 Why if the world would you she that?! Haven't you ever driven through a neighborhood after a tornado and seen one house looking almost untouched in the middle of a bunch that were nothing but rubble? Or seen the footage from where a never drove through half an hour after the tornado? Oh wait- Now I'M assuming. Maybe you're just too young to have seen it. I'm 56 and have seen it less than a dozen times. I also had a friend in school who's parents called the school to tell her not to worry when she heard the news, it missed the house, and everybody was OK, only the barn was damaged. I SAW that house on the way home that afternoon, and yes, IT was untouched, but instead of a barn beside it, there was a pile of rubble.

@cuspryd3rhighly possible it is an F3. This wasn’t a direct hit. The inflow took off a considerable amount of roof and brought in debris from several hundred yards. Tornadoes this erratic tend to have patchy inflows. It’s the whole ‘skipped this house and took out that one’ thing. I have no doubt if the main vortex would’ve hit the home it would’ve been destroyed. This person is either brave, or knew that and decided they stood a better chance out on a newer and well-constructed and/or ground-anchored deck. Or both. He looked like he was vacillating between going inside and staying out. In all honesty, I’d have probably got inside that truck.

From the end of 2024, the number and scale of natural disasters will increase many times over. The reason for this is entering the cosmic cycle of 12000 years. If we don't take action now, in 5-7 years it will be impossible to live on the planet. And not later than 2036 there will be a catastrophe, which will turn the Earth into a second Mars. We still have a chance to save the planet and our own lives. The analytical report and ways to solve the problem are voiced here: "Global Crisis. The Responsibility" (online forum).

Why aren’t houses built to restrain? I live in areas of flooding/bushfires and by law all windows have to be a certain strength to proof against fire, homes need to built up on certain increments to avoid flooding etc. if it’s so common, are laws in place for this?

[@Scratchync]

I live about 25-30 minutes southwest of Rocky Mount and I am soooo sad for our neighbors😩😩. I am very lucky!! These houses are built out of paper it seems and would break up in a heartbeat!! Oh, and to have a basement in NC is unusual due to us being at sea level😞😞😞

[@Mattnoble80]

@@wheresmyparade there are building inspections to certain limits against hurricanes and closer to the shore houses are elevated, NC gets them every year. After 1999 when Floyd came and the flood of half of NC did too flood insurance is kind of spotty, however many homes are raised as far in as Wilson but a lot of them are near creeks and rivers. All of the insurance is spotty after so many hurricanes and flood plains extended but to an extent of blowing winds there are specs. Now tornadoes are bursts of wind that are hard to measure an inspection against. Many things get an inspection after partially built to ensure break away joints are present so as long as people evacuate the most vulnerable parts of a home the break away part will separate and not pull the whole house with it. Another of the issues with built homes is we are too close to the water table especially in eastern NC so we can’t build basements, but at least one room without windows is suggested

[@Mattnoble80]

@@Scratchync being so close to the water table keeps basements out of building plans. I only have one family member in Snow Hill who has a basement, the rest of us are to close to the water table

@@Mattnoble80 That’s what I thought, I understand older homes etc but with new compliance policies, newer homes surely would have to have some type of protection i.e. Homes built with insulated concrete forms (ICF), like Fox Blocks.
