Bussy Brace
Bussy Brace is an architectural term used to describe on indoor, overhead brace. This type of brace has been around since the early 1300's when bussy storms were first documented off the coast of England. A bussy storm is unlike a hail storm because the objects are liquid in nature. The difference then between a bussy storm and a regular rain storm is the volume per second onto a structure. In a bussy storm the maximum weight ratings of a roof can easily be exceeded in the first 15 minutes of the storm while the brunt is yet to blow down. Typically, the peak intensity of a bussy storm happens after the first 20 minutes of the storm. This does allow time for those effected on the ground to seek shelter even after the storm starts.

A bussy brace then has an important role to play in a bussy storm. The brace adds acute structural strength to the roof of a building. This acute structural strength is applied in an imaginary hexagonal shape, where in the corners are the focal points of added strength. This allows for the roof to break up the bussy as it rains down onto the building from high above. The reinforced points break up the surface tension of the bussy as it falls onto the roof, and allows the rest of the roof to bear the rest of the weight as it comes down.

Bussy braces are noted as having saved thousands of lives in areas where bussy storms brew.
