[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9795754, member: 93670"] Being a bit pedantic here because it's an important distinction that was probably overlooked when making tiny hut into an apocalypse bunker. Yes and no on the "up to" hurricane level. It stopped at the very bottom end of [I]sustained[/I] cat1 wind speeds and midway into [URL='https://www.weather.gov/iwx/2013_straight-line_winds_vs_tornado']straightline winds[/URL], but it's easy to get gusts exceeding those even without a hurricane. A hurricane will of course take those sustained wind speeds and turn them into much higher gusts. It's easy to see how someone being unaware of those kinds of weather details could look at damage caused by monster storms like sandy(2012) Dorian(2013) etc or highly localized damage caused by eyewall/tornado spawn during lesser storms and think making it into the impenetrable bunker it became is a totally reasonable 1:1ish adaptation that just sheds extraneous details like wind speed ∆nothing implied, just simply due to living in areas that don't really see either.
