180MPH winds sound achievable to me, airplanes fly faster than that. Maybe not with cedar shingles, but only because of airborne debris. Today I'd go with hexagonal concrete tiles.
I'd want noise cancellation in the home stereo, though.  |
I've wondered why noise cancellation isn't standard equipment in every car. All cars these days have speakers and a microphone and a computer, so they've got everything you need to cancel a bit of that noise. Save a bit on acoustic treatments in software.
