Basically any block construction house with the roof tied on with hurricane straps and decent storm shutters will be OK, if you don't have any trees set to fall on you. Unfortunately the standard Florida house is "cheap toothpicks covered in pasteboard" style and ya get what ya pay for. Oh yeah, and don't live where you're 25ft below flood level, too, you morons! (for the pedants: you can build an earthquake resistant house too, but it takes some skull sweat and money and I can't see the cheap labor around here doing it right.)Anyways, it looks like Hanna is passing us by. Yay!</blockquote>
