Not even damaged! Yet the building is GONE. Amazing.

that thing is bolted to a post cemented into the ground...plus it has much less resistance than a building. Kinda looks photochopped to me, tho? Still funnay

May be photshopped. BELEIVE me, winds over 60MPH around her last year and signs just go to pieces. Once they start vibrating like a tuning fork it's all over.

yeah, i guess it would have at least torn the yellow Waffle House cover off the frame, if nothing else. I could believe that destruction if it had been a tornado, but not from a hurricane...since tornados often jump over things and only demolish what they hit.

Why didn't they just make the whole building out of that material?
