i watched their live stream a bit last night and saw the video of locals literally using rope to "strap down" their roof ( over the roof and under the foundation )
Im very curious to see if this provides any sort of reinforcement- I cant imagine the pressures/lbs per sq inch involved with 120mph + winds and the force exerted on the roof and ropes holding in place. But sure would make for interesting study. Especially for areas where metal roofs are the more popular.
