Safe Buildings for Hurricanes and Tornadoes
Word Count: 101The traditional building model uses wood frames for support. Although this is not totally bad, it isn’t the most secure method of construction, either. There is now a growing trend of using steel buildings as a standard rather than the conventional wood. The steel not only comes into play in the internal structure, but on the outer level features such as the roof and chimney construction. It is a bit more expensive, but this more durable material will definitely withstand hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe weather much better in the long run. Plus, it’s bound to be a lot safer, too!
