Agreed. Scott has done a decent job here. Triumph of function over form.
Any ideas the elevation on US1 in the Keys? Was trying to remember what flooding was like down there post Wilma. Any modifications/ improvements since then?
Elevation is all over the place from zero to 14 feet, more zero than 14 of course. Many of the homes are built on concrete or wooden stilts at least 11 feet above zero.
Our building codes are actually second to none. Wind requirements are 130 and above and keep going up. Many impact windows being installed every day.
My wife and I were on Sugarloaf Key(17 miles from Key West) for Wilma - the northern approach to the 7 mile bridge had to be repaired due to the storm surge. We had 6 feet of water under the house with needle fish swimming in the front yard! I used a lot of clorox after that hurricane.
