They are predicting there is a possibility of a cat 2 or 3.

My house is frame, custom built and well built. Plus I am on the West side of a hill that is as tall as my house so I am very shielded.

Its all about the roof, if you have a good solid roof you'll do alright in a Cat 1 through 3.

Cat 5? I have seen block homes stripped bare. This is why I bought a second home in North Carolina. I will have someplace to live if my house is flattened.

A builder I work for is about to release a "Hurricane Proof" home. All the walls are tilt construction and the roof is cement too. The whole house shows up on a flatbed truck and is put up with a crane.
