I remember when Andrew blew through a few years ago.

There was a report that said that the best built houses and the ones that withstood the hurricane the best were Habitat for Humanity homes.

They said that since amatuers built the houses, lots more nails and screws were used than homes built by professionals.

Thus they didn't blow down so easily.
