Following it (I have a TV set in my office and it's set on CNN most of the time) I came up to the conclusion that after all winter, snow and cold weather may not be that bad after all.

Very happy you went thru it with minimal inconvenient.

By the way, for those interested, the following site is great to see the status of storms and explain what they are all about:

Question?

Without minimizing the phenomena, for a guy living up north, could you tell me why in the world there are so many houses built the way they are (not talking about mobile homes), times and times after the win did destroy them (and everything within them)?

I do not know but if my house was gone in the win and I had to rebuilt, you better beleive it would be as solid as possible.

How come the construction acceptable standards in such exposed areas do allow putting up very fragile houses.

Considering it costs you (governments) billions every year, a "stranger" living far away has problem understanding that.
