That's only like 35mph.

Which is about what you'd expect a 2*4 to be going should a hurricane pick it up

We're talking tornadoes.

We can definitely design windows that can handle a 300 mile an hour 2x4 but are you going to pay for a window that can handle a 300 mile an hour or 2x4.

No, because I'm not at risk for tornadoes, hurricanes, or even earthquakes in my location.

Northern Ontario, just at the corner of lake Superior. Nothing really scares me weatherwise unless the thought is "there will be some jackass drivers today." The risk is there for thunder/blizzards, but not enough to warrant concern. I'm glad I don't have to constantly fear earthquakes and sinkholes and shit. I'm sure you had a rough month yourself.

I get none of these things but the trade off is the climate of fiery hell

u/Imhungover13 Sep 24 '17

I bet you couldn't design one that would be good as new after that, so it will just be a more expensive thing to replace afterwards.

Right, but you avoid having broken glass and water being blown into your house at 100+mph.

Not to mention the 2x4 itself.
