Home check after a storm: what to verify when you're not on Elba
Every wind on Elba hits the house differently: maestrale stresses the north side, libeccio batters south-west balconies, sirocco drags salt and humidity. An extraordinary inspection is triggered above an objective threshold — not for every gust — and follows a protocol calibrated by wind direction and event type.
