And there have been improvements in the codes since mine was built in 1969.

But I doubt any house can be built that is absolutely hurricane proof, unless you go with steel reinforced poured concrete.

Hurrican Andrew showed the weakest point of most houses is the windows and doors. If the wind gets inside, it lifts the roof right off. This is why storm proof windows or shutters are so important.

Here is a picture of a house identical to mine, except it is a mirror image of it. My garage is on the right. Its a mass-produced modular house in which the individual rooms, plumbing, wiring and trusses were all identical, but were assembled mixed and matched to provide various floor plans from the same standardized components. Mine is called "The Westchester".
