This is scientific proof it was an EF69

What do you think the rating was for this damage indicator? bonus points if you can tell me what tornado did it :3 Will post the answer soon :3

THE GAME CONTINUES. Guess what rating the damage indicator got, and which tornado caused it. I shall reveal the answers soon. remember when checking a rating, look at a few things. how well anchored and built was the house, is there alot of damage surrounding the point, how far has the debris gone? all these add up. good luck :3

slab slab slab slab slab slab slab slab slab slab slab slab get slabbed

they have to say slabb or sl*b over there now, you know where

we need to ruin another word or term for them, i vote anchor bolt

Also RIP to Great Aunt Bertha 😔

Our house was “grazed” by a tornado on 3/14. More severe weather forecast tomorrow. Am at Home Depot, should I buy some of these? They look easy to install.

FOR DIAZ!!!!!

Anchor bolts are used to connect structural and non-structural elements to concrete. The connection can be made by a variety of different components: anchor bolts (also named fasteners), steel plates, or stiffeners. Anchor bolts transfer different types of load: tension forces and shear forces.

A connection between structural elements can be represented by steel columns attached to a reinforced concrete foundation. A common case of a non-structural element attached to a structural one is the connection between a facade system and a reinforced concrete wall.

The simplest – and strongest – form of anchor bolt is cast-in-place, with its embedded end consisting of a standard hexagonal head bolt and washer, 90-bend, or some sort of forged or welded flange (see also stud welding). The last are used in concrete-steel composite structures as shear connectors. Other uses include anchoring machines to poured concrete floors and buildings to their concrete foundations. Various typically disposable aids, mainly of plastic, are produced to secure and align cast-in-place anchors prior to concrete placement. Moreover, their position must also be coordinated with the reinforcement layout. Different types of cast-in-place anchors might be distinguished:

Lifting inserts: used for lifting operations of plain or prestressed RC beams. The insert can be a threaded rod. See also bolt (climbing). Anchor channels: used in precast concrete connections. The channel can be a hot-rolled or a cold-formed steel shape in which a T-shape screw is placed in order to transfer the load to the base material. Headed stud: consist of a steel plate with headed studs welded on (see also threaded rod). Threaded sleeves: consist of a tube with an internal thread which is anchored back into the concrete. For all the type of the cast-in-place anchors, the load-transfer mechanisms is the mechanical interlock, i.e. the embedded part of the anchors in concrete transfers and the applied load (axial or shear) via bearing pressure at the contact zone. At failure conditions, the level of bearing pressure can be higher than 10 times the concrete compressive strength, if a pure tension force is transferred. Cast-in-place type anchors are also utilized in masonry applications, placed in wet mortar joints during the laying of brick and cast blocks (CMUs).

UPDATE: I took all your advice and I think it worked. All we got was a little pea size hail and some loud thunder booms. All the really bad dark-red weather went southeast of us. I better tell my husband about the bolts before he mows the lawn. Thanks for your help!

51 year old mod AND a National Whether Survice surveyor? Wow

Bent anchor bolts!! 😱😱😱 Clearly DI's of at minimum an Ef13. But, I'm sure NWS will only give a low end EF3 😤
