Shipping containers are made to stand up to the rigors of sea travel so I guess they're confident they can withstand storms. Still it's a ballsy move and I'd think the exposure to the elements would be a net negative, even factoring in heat dissipation through the air with natural wind, etc.
- count 16y agoThe problem with hurricanes isn't going to be the wind and water (hopefully they've accounted for flooding). It's going to be the trees and other debris flying through the air at 100+mph. Without concrete to absorb/mitigate that damage, I'd hate to see what happens :)
