They make the houses in Florida hurricane resistant. One of my friends from down there made a house with her father out of cinder blocks and concrete because the zoning required it.

I’ve been through about 6 or 7 on the east coast in VA and NC. If it hits at night, take a Benadryl and go to sleep. The lights will go off anyhow and you’ll have nothing to do.

If they aren’t ready by now then they never will be.

My sis is now living in Jax and her hubby has kin just north of there within spitting distance from A1A on a bay

They build their octagon shaped house hurricane proof, with a 12” I-beam frame with the pilings going down 85 feet

They’ll lived in that area for 40 years, after living on a secluded barrier island in Georgia for several years

VA and NC don’t get real hurricanes.
