Aha. But that was before Dan had patented the Storm Closet....no? Max Ps. Bad images though. Can't begin to imagine the distress all that caused. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Elizabeth.J.Doering at wellsfargo.com Sent: 06 February 2009 18:14 To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Is it cold enough for ya? Haha... When I was a student at Gustavus Adolphus college in Minnesota, I lived in three different student-housing buildings. One all brick, two traditional wood construction. All three buildings were nearing their 100th birthdays in 1998, when a tornado went through campus and the town of St. Peter, MN. All three of "my houses" were destroyed, regardless of the type of construction. Do a Google image search (or here: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=gustavus+tornado&btnG=Search+Ima ges&gbv=2) for tons of pictures....

Haha... In Minnesota, sooner or later it all gets hit by a tornado. And even if you had a solid steel box for a house, it will still get picked up and carried a Km or so, and badly dented when it drops back down to the ground. That Wizard of Oz stuff is a Good day! So, we build to survive for a while, and pay insurance for when it doesn't. Also in Minnesota, there are no wooden roof tiles - wouldn't last for a single winter!

Haha... > house start getting blown around House of straw eh! In Britland we make ours out of bricks and mortar. Have you not hear of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf? I am always amazed at what damage the wind causes folks in US of A and you often see only the chimney standing with everything else gone (via CNN or Fox TV reports etc). Why don't you folks use Bricks, concrete, metal, steel - anything more robust than wood? You even have wooden roof tiles and then wonder why it catches fire so easy - sheesh!

Haha... Indiana? C'mon . . . In Minnesota we only shut the windows if the wind picks up and things in the house start getting blown around. The temperature doesn't have anything to do with it. Have a warm day!
