    “Won’t keep us from rebuilding shit in the same place even though everything being destroyed is the perfect opportunity to get people to start a new life elsewhere…”

        Fyi they build them out of cinder blocks and poured concrete, mostly. Florida house walls are incredibly strong. Problem is: the roofs are still generally wood and can get ripped off in the high wind.

        Someone I saw on YouTube did a monolithic concrete dome instead and fared much better. That’s what I would do if I had the money for a custom build.

      We’ll see about that… John’s Pass in Pinellas county was created about 130 years around from a major hurricane. It is entirely possible that significant portions of the most prized water front property in that area won’t be able to be built on or will take years of bulldozing of all those huge resorts and condos to make it possible to build.
