That stuff brings back memories of when I went through Hurricane Gilbert in JA, WOW. Stick built homes like in this area simply will not take a cat 3,4,5 well at all. I was in a 100% concrete and rebar reinforced home, with a poured rebar roof that's foundation was built into coral and hurricane strapped down. It was still the scariest and most exillerating experience I have ever been in. Many people that weren't in such substantial places to weather Gilbert found out what projectile meant. My family alone has three people that became an amputee in that one.
