A system and method for resisting catastrophic wind damage to a structure is provided. At least a pair of anchoring devices are fixed to a foundation of the structure at opposite positions adjacent to sidewalls of the structure. A first cable and a second cable are attached to the anchoring devices, respectively. A tensioning member is provided under a roof of the structure and between the sidewalls of the structure. The tensioning member, such as a turnbuckle, is further attached to both the first and second cables for applying a tension force to the cables. Cable guides can be further provided to route the cables along the roof and sidewalls of the structure.

1. A hurricane cable system for resisting catastrophic wind damage to a structure having a roof, opposite sidewalls and a foundation, the system comprising: at least a pair of first and second anchoring devices, each device adapted to be fixed to the foundation at a position adjacent to one of the opposite sidewalls;a first cable having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first cable attached to the first anchoring device;a second cable having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second cable attached to the second anchoring device;a tensioning member disposed under the roof and at a center position between the opposite sidewalls, the tensioning member attached to the second end of the first cable and the second end of the second cable, for applying a tension force to the first cable and the second cable, wherein the first cable and the second cable are substantially symmetrical with respect to the tensioning member; anda plurality of cable guides affixed at intervals along the roof, each of the cable guides comprising an opening adapted for receiving one of the first cable and the second cable. 2. The hurricane cable system as in claim 1, wherein an interval between the cable guides is six feet or less. 3. The hurricane cable system as in claim 1, wherein the first cable and the second cable are ⅛ inch steel cables. 4. A coordinate system for resisting catastrophic wind damage to a structure having a roof, opposite sidewalls and a foundation, the coordinate system comprising a plurality of hurricane cable systems each comprising: at least a pair of first and second anchoring devices, each device adapted to be fixed to the foundation at a position adjacent to one of the opposite sidewalls;a first cable having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first cable attached to the first anchoring device;a second cable having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second cable attached to the second anchoring device;a tensioning member disposed under the roof and at a center position between the opposite sidewalls, the tensioning members attached to the second end of the first cable and the second end of the second cable, for applying a tension force to the first cable and the second cable, wherein the first cable and the second cable are substantially symmetrical with respect to the tensioning member; anda plurality of cable guides affixed at intervals along the roof, each of the cable guides comprising an opening adapted for receiving one of the first cable and the second cable a cable. 5. The coordinate system as in claim 4, wherein the plurality of the hurricane cable systems are disposed at predetermined intervals along a lateral direction of the structure. 6. The coordinate system as in claim 5, wherein the plurality of the hurricane cable systems are disposed substantially parallel to each other. 7. The coordinate system as in claim 4, wherein an interval between the cable guides is six feet or less. 8. The coordinate system as in claim 4, wherein the first cable and the second cable are ⅛ inch steel cables. 9. A method for resisting catastrophic wind damage to a structure having a roof, opposite sidewalls and a foundation, comprising: fixing a first anchoring device to the foundation at a first position adjacent to one of the opposite sidewalls and fixing a second anchoring device to the foundation at a second position adjacent to the other of the opposite sidewalls;attaching a first cable to the first anchoring device and a second cable to the second anchoring device;disposing a tensioning member under the roof and at a center position between the opposite sidewalls and disposing the first cable and the second cable substantially symmetrical with respect to the tensioning member;attaching the tensioning member to both the first cable and the second cable; andapplying a tension force to the first cable and the second cable through the tensioning member. 10. The method as in claim 9, further comprising routing the first cable and the second cable through a plurality of cable guides. 11. The method as in claim 10, further comprising distributing the cable guides at predetermined intervals along the roof.
