Both of you are correct. You can pull up some HAAG damage assessment articles to see.

One other thing to consider is that the roof is up to 225 feet high. Reported wind speeds are measured at 33 feet, and could be 20 percent higher at 200 feet.
The 95 to 100 mph gusts measured could have been approximately 114 to 120 mph on the roof.
City streets with buildings on either side can also funnel winds serving to increase speeds, similar to mountain topography.

Yeah. I'm sure the engineers building it knew that winds/forces of a high enough magnitude would likely damage the roof for all the reasons we are discussing.
I guess it was a cost to build / cost to insure / risk decision if the roof really was only designed to handle 115 mph winds at over 200 feet high in a city with other tall buildings and being near the Gulf.

Stop with the reasoning on the roof and height of roof
The insurance lawyers are circling to make the roof installer responsible

I’ve been away from my computer for much of the last 48 hours.
How did out posters who live in the area fare?
Lanier and others? Any damage? Hopefully no injuries.

Stfu. You truly are one of the dumbest posters if not the dumbest across all boards.

The Palm Beach Gardens tornado has been given a preliminary rating of EF3.
These are the damage paths that will be surveyed by the NWS Miami office:

Is this only for Palm Beach county? Would be curious for Martin and St Lucie counties as well

Lanier is good.
I think Hangit is good.
The ocean I don’t remember.
Cuse is good.
Seems most everyone is ok.

It is all I've seen from both the Miami and Melbourne offices. If you follow NWS Miami and NWS Melbourne on Xwitter they should post when they complete a survey.

Don't know if this is the right place for this or start another thread but had a question about hurricane cleanup.
Got a buddy of mine, has a lawn service, doing okay. Has truck and 13ft trailer. We were talking about different income streams since grass will be growing slower in the coming months and he's Trying to branch out and secure other work.
I know with the hurricanes and flooding there will be work. He's got experience gutting houses after the 2016 flood. Can build fences and other stuff like that.
How would he go about finding someone to get work with in the areas with need? He said he doesn't even mind sleeping in his truck. Just wants the work if he can get it.
Any info would be appreciated

I worked CAT claims for several years...We went in behind hurricanes...tornados...hail storms etc...I did the auto side. Worked those hurricanes in the early 2,000s ....worked the panhandle Pensacola, Mobile Al area. Worked Kansas...Oklahoma....Nebraska...Texas. I spend 30 years on the Agent side and 10 on the claims side.

Have him call GC shops in the area he wants to work in…they’ll all be sourcing labor.

Good morning, Jeremiah. 
I still have no Internet, or Wi-Fi, but my house did not sustain any damage. We lost electricity for about three seconds.
The Canadian lost about half of her avocado tree. We went out and picked up 18 pounds of avocados yesterday.
And watching the news, we did better than most
