Testing Roofs for Hurricane Strength

Hurricane season’s here, and scientists at IBHS are putting roofs to the test with hurricane-force winds, hail, and rain to build tougher homes nationwide. Their massive fan wall simulates Category 3 storms while rain-driven water tries to sneak through—helping set new building codes. Homeowners can now choose ultra-resilient roofs, and impact-resistant windows are key to surviving flying debris. This research isn’t just for the Carolinas—it’s nationwide, making every home safer when Mother Nature goes wild. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
