These homes are not built to Dade County hurricane code. Dade County is the Miami area and the strictest hurricane code in the country put in after hurricane Andrew. It requires all homes must have hurricane shutters and all doors leading outside must open out, not in. There are many other requirements but you got to know we don't have that strict of a code. Our chances of experiencing a major hurricane is less than Dade County, but it only takes one.
