Tornados and Wind Zones

[Uncle Bob]

Conarb, thanks, My fearless leaders say they will order the ICC/NSSA-500 for me. Hope to have it soon. Have to be nice; my boss reads these posts . So far I like the flexibility of the FEMA specs for affordability of retro-fits in existing homes; and a few builders have shown interest in using it for new construction. As Mark Handler has stated; I need to break the specs down so labor's can understand it; cause that's the knowledge level I'm dealing with as far as many framing contractors around here are concerned.

We can reduce the damage of building by increasing the education about building codes. We need to build the tornado proof structures to avoid the damages.
