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.

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

This is actually not a bad idea

Checkmate, nature.

ok so. This isn't going to stop a tree, or a large rock from flying through the side of you wall, but if you home isn't mounted to the foundation (common in old homes) or very well mounted, or just not very wind load capable, this could actually be beneficial.

You could still experience "wall buckling" but since the roof is relatively secured, you're acting from a separate point of leverage. Which is essentially going to be in the middle of the wall, rather than at the top of the wall.

This is all assuming that these anchor points are as strong or stronger than the straps and mounting hardware. And the fact that your home doesn't disintegrate between the staps.

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

A bit like the building at the top of Mount Washington

Maybe build with ICF ( insulated concrete forms).

I love this.

I wonder how deep those stakes are driven lol

Someone misunderstood building code for hurricane ties.

I have that people post those and I don't doubt they are real anymore.

Now I'm just curious about what shape those anchors have, due to morbid curiosity.
