Picture living there for a week with no way to leave 'cause the bottom floor is flooded to the ceiling and without any electricity and only whatever food/water you have on hand.
Still feel the same way?
High-rises are built very strong for lateral load (wind) resistance but that's not the issue with a hurricane (usually). It's the water.
