It's a wonder that a house can remain standing with water that high.
Can you imagine the clean up.
The thing that grosses me out about hurricanes is the poisonous snakes that go to dry land.
My grandparents had a little beach house on an island off of Galveston. There was a hurricane that hit there. Before the hurricane, the island didn't have snakes. After the hurricane, the island had lots of snakes.

It wouldn't if the water were moving, but in standing water there is no force to knock it down.
