Why would you want to reinforce your basement from high winds? Because the winds that the Z's say will hit us might be enough to blow a house off of it's foundation, or worse collaps it. Nancy says that the winds in North America will be mostly from the North and West. So you want to pay special attention to the South and East walls. The picture is of a stop I made to keep the house from shifting. I have poured reinforced cement for my basement walls, so it will be easy to attach metal braces to the wood and screw them to the wall. That will help keep the floor in place even if the rest of the house blows away. Even in a tornado the entire house is gone, exposing the basement. With a floor over the basement you at least have a place to survive from the cold. If you own a farm and have a front end loader you can also push dirt up agenst your house at a 45* angle so that the winds will easly blow over it.
