As a truss manufacturer in lower Alabama for 25 years, we shipped many systems into Florida. Over the years, the state’s standards improved greatly and inspections became incredibly strict. IIRC, trusses for beachfront properties had to be engineered to withstand 150 or 160 mph winds. I pray their diligence helps save homes.

I'm in Delray Beach, so right in line for a direct hit.

My house is 25 years old, and the building code back then was for 120 MPH ratings. I have an addition that I just built last year, and the code for that was 160 MPH.

I did at least upgrade all our doors/windows in the main house to impact doors/windows.

I hope you are not in that house now——— this storm sounds dreadful.

Good luck.

That won't be happening. Hurricane eye won't get within 30 miles of you.
