Storm Proofing Measures We Should All Consider, No Matter Where We Build BYHYU 137
Whether you believe in global warming or not, it seems that storms are becoming more and more prevalent and damaging.\xa0 And even if you don\u2019t live in tornado alley or a coastal region that\u2019s prone to hurricanes, you might want to consider adding some storm-proofing measures to your new house. \xa0 Storm resistant materials and techniques will not only make our homes stronger and more wind and water resistant but also more airtight and energy efficient, in many instances.
Since high winds and heavy rain can potentially occur in many regions outside of areas classified as \u201cstorm-prone,\u201d it\u2019s beneficial to learn about what we can do to protect our homes from even occasional, unexpected stormy weather.\xa0 Case and point: Hurricane Michael.\xa0 Not only did it bring hurricane force winds to coastal areas, but it also brought 155-mph winds and associated tornados to inland communities, far from the coast.\xa0 So take a listen to this week\u2019s list of storm-proofing features to see if any of them makes sense for your new build.\xa0
Before we move into our mini-lesson, a shout out goes to Trista, for giving me this great show idea.\xa0 Thanks, Trista.
