I don't understand the point of the OP.

If the OP doesn't live in TV, then why come here and post a question like that which will instill possible fear into residents that are new to Florida.

If the OP does live in TV, then why do they live here? Why would a person live in Florida in a home they do not trust in a hurricane?

NOW is not the time for people to be questioning the building quality and safety of their homes, now is the time to try to relax and if that means going to visit friends up north, then do it, if that means getting some extra beers or wine to last through a few days of power outage, then do that. But focusing on quality of your homes building and whether or not it is safe is not a good thing for anyone - especially people new to Florida - to do when a hurricane is approaching. The time for that was before you purchased. I mean seriously folks Florida and hurricanes kind of go together, they always have and they always will. If you don't trust your home so much you have to come online and ask others if your home is safe, then you really need to consider moving someplace safer - like CA on a Clift side so your home can go slip sliding away in a mud slide, or Kansa so you can hum "Up, Up and away" as a tornado relocates your home to Oz, or to LA so you can get you exercise vibrating to the tunes of the next earth quake...
