      Exactly, a hurricane-proof house should be to protect the stuff inside of it and a last resort option in case an evacuation is not possible. But if you can evacuate, you should do it.

      Superb structure. I hear that millions of people evacuated the area but couldn't buy gas. I noticed many houses were damaged by fallen trees. In America, people have trees very, very close to their homes. A risk in high winds and a long-term risk due to roots extending to the base of the house.
      I wish you all well in this catastrophic situation.

    Those little metal “hurricane straps” they showed between the walls and roof and have been so significant in keeping roofs from ripping off houses and to overall integrity of the house.

This house is probably safe to reside in during most other storms and should indeed be CAT 5 proof but when your life is at stake it is always better to take the safer route instead of putting yourself in danger so you can prove a point. If the house is still there after the storm, that already means it basically did its job and not having to rebuild your home after every hurricane is for sure a big plus in the long run.

The damages were the shingle roof was damaged maybe 1/4 gone. 3 of the sliding glass doors blew in. All of the windows were fine except the small windows in the exterior doors. I was about 200 ft from the Gulf of Mexico. So some rain water got in but even the vinyl flooring was okay. In Mexico Beach out of 2700 homes 2200 were completely destroyed the other 500 were very badly damaged. If you look you can see one of there homes it is lite orange color on the canal and it is the only house that survived on that street. I built beach houses for years in that area. And bought mine after that hurricane.

    A man once decided to stay in the basement of his house which was made with a metal door in the floor to keep out fire if it ever came through their property. He heard the raging sound of the fire, looking up and seeing the metal glowing red, and now now lives with PTSD. She made the right decision even if the house is safe.

      The windows will likely be all blown off/in and rain, wind or flying debris will wreck the inside of the structure. But the house itself may still be standing. Who knows how long it will take for people to fix their homes even if they do withstand the hurricane. The roads may be impassable for awhile. Materials will be hard to get trucked in and the prices will likely skyrocket. I hope people have $ saved up to rebuild.

That’s why it serves as a fitting comparison in this context. Yes, this home is meant to withstand a hurricane; however, it’s a wise decision not to put it to the test.

    I don’t normally like round houses but this one is quite beautiful. But as someone who’s state is often hit by hurricanes. We usually leave even for a Category 2, and sometimes a 1, even though we have a sturdy home, we don’t want to spend any time hearing the fierce winds all day or all night long. If you haven’t lived through it, you can’t imagine it. We just make the best of it by heading out towards somewhere we may have never been before, and do something fun and interesting, but inexpensive, while there, “making lemonade out of lemons”🍋 Thankfully where we live seems to be a pocket that doesn’t get hit quite as hard as surrounding areas, even though we’ve had damage, it’s not major. My heart goes out to the people of Florida and North Carolina now!
