🏠 💪🏻 Ever wonder why some buildings better withstand impacts from hail, wind, rain and wildfire? Join me on #WednesdayswithWoodward on Wednesday, July 24 at 1 pm ET for an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) Research Center in Richburg, South Carolina.  I’ll be joined by IBHS President and CEO Roy Wright; Chief Engineer Anne Cope; Research Project Engineer Christopher Sanders and Lead Research Engineer Faraz Hedayati. 💨 We’ll see IBHS’s full-scale test chamber and massive wall of 105 wind turbines that simulate (very strong!) wind. ❄️ We’ll go inside the hail lab to learn how they create realistic hail and shoot it through a cannon to evaluate the performance of common building materials like shingles and siding. 🔥 We’ll witness a full-scale wildfire demonstration to preview the latest research.
