Giant ground pangolins are the largest of all eight species. One was found to weigh 33 kilograms (72.6 pounds) â the largest pangolin ever recorded! Long-tailed pangolins are the smallest, weighing around 2-3 kg (about 4-6 pounds).
The choice of building materials can also affect the ability of a building to withstand hurricanes, although it is not always possible to use different materials, if the area is extremely vulnerable to high winds, it is good practice to use the most resistant materials available. Timber.
Alex Wilson, President, Resilient Design Institute. It is possible to design buildings to withstand 250 mph winds. You can buy tornado doors that are rated to 300 mph, but those are very expensive. Thick, laminated, and reinforced glass is available that can withstand 250 mph wind, but again, cost is a major issue.hat said, even designing buildings to withstand 140 or 150 mph winds would be a huge step up from conventional practice today. I have long advocated extending wind provisions of the Miami-Dade County hurricane code to much of the U.S. Henry L. Green, Hon. AIA, President, National Institute of Building Sciences.
