[Hurricane Katrina] Hurricane clips, shown circled above, help anchor roofs to the main structure to prevent detachment due to sever wind. These clips can be found at many hardware stores, and are an inexpensive way to mitigate homes against sever losses from hurricanes. The home above kept its lid on during the severe winds brought by Hurricane Katrina, even though construction of the house had not been completed. Photo by William Dryden/FEMA.
