[scarab]

..reminds me of an old G.I. Joe movie

M54: Where there any tornados? Hale Storms? Good to hear that your house was spared. Saw a feature on discovery about super storms and this is a super storm

walang tornado dito, but there were quite a few in Alabama and Mississippi because of Katrina.

i think the so-called 'perfect storm' is a category 5, where winds are clocked at a sustained 160+ mph, and even buildings suffer complete failure. if you do a google search on hurricane Andrew you can see what kind of catastrophe these hurricanes create.

hurricane Katrina was a category 5, and the director of the US National Hurricane Center actually used the words "perfect hurricane" to describe it. he also said that the measured surface air pressure for Katrina was the 3rd-lowest ever recorded in history (low air pressure = higher winds). sa awa ng diyos it "weakened" to cat 4 before striking the Gulf Coast.

btw, speaking of insurer losses, that $26b in estimated damages is insured losses only - i.e. the amount of payments the insurance companies have to pay. wala pa diyan ang uninsured losses, which could be hundreds of millions more.

by the way... I've noticed that most American homes are built of flimsy wood instead of concrete (like here in the Philippines). that's why they get blown away easily.

yan din sabi ni bro. our houses here are actually much stronger than those in the US(generally speaking). On the upside though, building/rebuilding a home is much cheaper and faster, almost literally like Lego blocks kabilis
