Would it be normal for the rafters to be tied into the brickwork to resist
the gable potentially being €śblown out€ť?
That guy was lucky not to have been hit by a brick that could well have
'bounced' towards him. There must have been some wind load / pressure
difference either side of that wall.
I didn't think there were any special measures, just wall plates must
tied to walls.
In fact a heavy wall taking rafters with it might present more of a danger.
