Planning a shop build, any suggestions?
I just looked, it was an EF2 that hit Port Orchard WA in 2021.
It was my Uncles house. He ordered the trusses. Built in 1982. Everyone thought he was wasting time and money putting Hurricane straps on. He also put 2X6's across the tops of the rafters at the ridge so each truss was tied to the next.
The winds get up to 110 MPH. Hardly ever a F2 up here but getting more and more.
He screwed both sides using 1 1/2 inch #10 screws at an angle away from each other. In each Hurricane strap he used nails in all holes but three where he screwed those.
Many other homes used the Gang plates and the plates peeled out when the 2x6's twisted in the winds of the F2
We also get some 5+ Richter scale earthquakes so his house was strapped and diagonally braced for that too.
