Wise words. I built out of poured concrete (even the roofs), all windows are state of the art hurricane spec, large openings are protected, landscape was carefully chosen and placed, garage doors are reinforced and I have 1000 gallons of fuel for my generator and a gas fired kitchen. And, our floor is at 7 feet above the 100 year flood elevation.
City thought i was nuts. Then I told them where I have lived and what I do for a living...
God bless and protect all.
