Are these red iron steel buildings built differently for a higher windstorm rating? I have a friend with one, and the city said it needed a higher wind rating. I think it was initially rated at like 120 and it had to be 150 or something like that. All the building maker did was change the number on paper. They didnt do anything else design wise as far as I know. Makes you wonder. Isn't 150 mph winds pushing the limits for even a brick house? I've seen pics on here from Florida where the red iron buildings just layed over columns and all. Not sure what the winds were though..
