Think about the air pressure myth. Even a one pound difference in air pressure would mean a difference of 144lbs per sq ft. For a typical door that could mean some 1728lbs pushing outward. At that level it would be like a two door car pushing against it.

Somebody’s confusing hurricane myths with tornado myths. I’ve never in my life heard to open a window in a hurricane. That’s just bizarre, your house would be filled with water. The wind drives very heavy rain into the oddest places with the house closed up tight as you can close it, let alone leaving a window open.

I have, however, heard that about a tornado.

I was 5 years old during the Northeast hurricane of 1938,and I can still hear the dreadful sound of the wind.

I was terrified.
