Hurricane Florence
FYI
Most building code for homes is 80 mph
The roof is 70 or 75 mph
Snow loads will change from 20 psf to 80 pfs. But there no snow in hurricane
FYI
80mph is 19 PSF
140 MPH is 58 PSF
On a 10 x 60ft home at 80 mph is 11,800 pounds and 140 mph is 34,800 pounds on side of your home

Good luck
Dave
