Yes, and you can bet that the original web site is up and running with

No about the argument. Yes to the back doors.
And most likely those don't even use the public DB data extracts.
You forgot the weather companies.
But what's the diff, it's all "free" gov stuff, right?

Well, I think it would be a terrific public service if you and W'hine
spend your time keeping track of all the federal government websites,
and let us know which are or are not working at a given moment.

Unlike the people up north, we watch storms and prepare BEFORE they
come kick our ass.

Yeah, right. Sure. I was in SE Florida the day after Andrew, taking
photos, doing interviews, and helping in the preparation of a report
about what sorts of buildings failed and why. Not much preparation was
evident.

That was 20 years ago. Out of curiosity, That report you were a helper
on; did it lead to any changes of any kind that helped improve building
codes and construction methods? Or was it just another meaningless fluff
piece that ended up un the round file.

The lack of preparation was obvious. No ties or not enough ties holding
roofs to frames, CMU walls without enough tied together steel, not
enough ties holding frames to foundations, no storm shutters on windows,
huge glass areas on houses, not enough ties on tilt-up buildings, et
cetera.

You don't have the education or knowledge to be able to make those statements.

That is not "preparation" it was the corrupt Dade county building
department that was doing "drive by" inspections or simply selling
approvals. Dade county set the standards that became the coastal
building code, they just did not enforce them,. It was not true in
other parts of the state. I have a poured tie beam with two #5s in it
and truss straps bigger than current code. My house was built in 1963.

Yup, codes are okay, it's the people who's job it is to make sure those
code requirements are met. The Achilles heal in the infrastructure is
shoddy residential building and as you say, corrupt officials and lazy
inspectors. It's different in commercial and industrial construction
where the architects and engineers get sued left and right for design
that doesn't meet the current building codes and there is a problem or
event.
