Terminal velocity on an object depends on its weight and distribution.
You’d have to shoot stuff through a vacuum past a point in order to keep resistance from slowing it down.

If more people called out utter idiocy of those who waste our tax dollars... maybe they would stop doing it?

I’d settle for just getting a radar sight somewhere close to Baton Rouge.

It will collapse in the next cold front.

What’s excessive is that new habitable buildings have to be built to withstand 131 mph winds in South Louisiana!
131 mph winds inland should not be the standard.

I believe in Overkill. Should have been my middle name. Posted on 8/24/22 at 9:20 am to member12

I guess it’s pretty easy to spend money when it’s public funds.

The forces associated with a 250 MPH design are 4.3 times larger than the forces associated with a 120 MPH design.

It’s a waste of money. If it isn’t rated for 350 mph then it isn’t rated.

No.
Any and all EMA offices in areas that can afford it should do the same. They are the "point of the spear", so-to-speak of disaster relief.

That was my thought as well. If first responders will be housed or staged in this building, their vehicles will presumably be parked outside. So while the people will be safe, if a storm of that magnitude impacts Baton Rouge, it seems that we'd have a lot of severely damaged police units, fire trucks, and ambulances.
