This is actually not a bad idea
ok so. This isn't going to stop a tree, or a large rock from flying through the side of you wall, but if you home isn't mounted to the foundation (common in old homes) or very well mounted, or just not very wind load capable, this could actually be beneficial.
You could still experience "wall buckling" but since the roof is relatively secured, you're acting from a separate point of leverage. Which is essentially going to be in the middle of the wall, rather than at the top of the wall.
This is all assuming that these anchor points are as strong or stronger than the straps and mounting hardware. And the fact that your home doesn't disintegrate between the staps.
Checkmate, nature.
A bit like the building at the top of Mount Washington
I love this.
+10 for holding the roof on the house
+5 for holding the house on the foundation
-7 for creating a large strong web effectively doubling the surface area where flying things can destroy your house.
I have that people post those and I don't doubt they are real anymore.
Now I'm just curious about what shape those anchors have, due to morbid curiosity.
They’re 8 foot deep concrete anchors according to the interview

The murican level blowing the scale
No duct tape. 2/10. Would not trust.
in fairness, they did slap the roof and said "yehp, that's not going anywhere."
we're not entirely sure of when the incantation was first made, but the magic behind it is still juuuust strong enough to do the trick.
Fair enough.

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.
