re: #590 marjoriemoon

My roof is relatively new (10 years) and to be honest, I don’t know how much wind it can take. It’s S tile. It’s withstood a Cat 3. That’s up to 130, I think. The windows are supposed to withstand 200 but I’m hoping that will never be tested.

You don’t have insurance?

Oh, yes—Opal bought my roof-before-this. We build our new Habitat houses to a 150 mph code. A bit further south, we would have to go for 200 mph.
